Best Practices

Selective Import

To reduce bundle size, import only the methods you need rather than the entire library.

• Example:

import debounce from 'lodash/debounce'; import merge from 'lodash/merge';

Avoid Overusing

While Lodash provides many powerful utilities, it’s important not to overuse them. Modern JavaScript includes many of these functionalities natively, so consider using built-in methods when possible.

• Native Alternatives:
  • Use Array.prototype.map instead of _.map.
  • Use Object.assign or the spread operator ({...obj}) instead of _.assign.
  • Use Array.prototype.flat instead of _.flatten.

Version Management

Keep your Lodash version updated to benefit from the latest features and performance improvements. Check the Changelog for new releases.
