_.permutation and _.combination support for arrays

[bdkent]

It would be really useful to support the standard permutation/combination functions on arrays.

Something like:

_.permutations([0, 1], ['a', 'b']) => [ [0, 'a'], [0, 'b'], [1, 'a'], [1, 'b'] ];

_.combinations([1, 2, 3, 4], 2) => [ [1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 4], [2, 3], [2, 4], [3, 4] ];

These additions have already (and I think unfortunately) been rejected from lodash proper:
lodash/lodash#1191
lodash/lodash#1032

I very frequently find the need for them, so I think they belong in lodash-contrib.

Thanks!

Accepted as an enhancement. Do you have a PR for this?

@bdkent You should also 👍 the lodash issues.
This helps me keep tabs on user demand for such methods.

Here is an implementation for arrays strings and object. It's similar to pythons itertools.product.

Let me know if you want me to make it a PR (and which category it fits into?).

Good time to do some housekeeping on this repo 😄
Expect a resolution in the coming days.
