You need to set it as a dependency for your script, this is the best way you can make sure, Underscore.js is loaded before your script (which means, the methods will be available).
function loadAdminScripts() {
wp_register_style(
'admin-style',
plugins_url('admin-style.css', __FILE__)
);
wp_register_script(
'pluginAdminPage',
plugins_url('pluginAdminPage.js', __FILE__),
[
'jquery',
'underscore',
]
);
wp_enqueue_style('admin-style');
wp_enqueue_script('pluginAdminPage');
}
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'loadAdminScripts');
Check the Code Reference on wp_register_style
for more information.
