FAQ

Should I use Lodash or native JavaScript methods?
Use native methods (map, filter, reduce) for simple array operations. Use Lodash for complex utilities like debounce, throttle, deep merge, groupBy, and chunk that lack native equivalents or have inconsistent browser support.
How do I reduce Lodash bundle size?
Install lodash-es for ES modules with tree-shaking, or import individual functions: import debounce from 'lodash/debounce'. Avoid importing the entire library with import _ from 'lodash'.
Is Lodash still maintained in 2024?
Lodash is in maintenance mode. It receives security patches but no new features. For new projects, consider native methods, Radash, or Remeda as modern alternatives with better TypeScript support.
