Object Manipulation Functions

Lodash provides utilities like _.omit, _.pick, and _.merge for object manipulation. Similar functionality can be achieved in plain JavaScript using techniques like object destructuring, spread syntax, and Object.assign().

Example: The example below shows the whichLodash feature that is Object Manipulation Functions that are available in plain JavaScript.

JavaScript
const _ = require('lodash');

// Lodash
const user = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
const newUser = _.omit(user, 'age');

// Plain JavaScript
const { age, ...newUserPlain } = user;

console.log(newUser); 
console.log(newUserPlain); 

Output:

{ name: 'John' }
{ name: 'John' }

Lodash Features that are Available in JavaScript

Lodash is a JavaScript utility library that provides a wide range of functions. It offers an efficient API for working with arrays, objects, strings, functions, etc.

We’ll explore a few key features that are available in Lodash and demonstrate how they can be implemented using native JavaScript, reducing dependencies and improving code efficiency.
