You don't (may not) need Lodash/Underscore
Lodash and Underscore are great modern JavaScript utility libraries, and they are widely used by Front-end developers. However, when you are targeting modern browsers, you may find out that there are many methods which are already supported natively thanks to ECMAScript5 [ES5] and ECMAScript2015 [ES6]. If you want your project to require fewer dependencies, and you know your target browser clearly, then you may not need Lodash/Underscore.
You are welcome to contribute with more items provided below.
-
If you are targeting legacy JavaScript engine with those ES5 methods, you can use es5-shim
-
Please note that, the examples used below are just showing you the native alternative of performing certain tasks. For some functions, Lodash provides you more options than native built-ins. This list is not a 1:1 comparison.
-
Please send a PR if you want to add or modify the code. No need to open an issue unless it's something big and you want to discuss.
Voice of Developers
Make use of native JavaScript object and array utilities before going big.

You probably don't need Lodash. Nice List of JavaScript methods which you can use natively.
โDaniel Lamb, Computer Scientist, Technical Reviewer of Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja and Functional Programming in JavaScript
โTero Parviainen, Author of build-your-own-angular
I'll admit, I've been guilty of overusing #lodash. Excellent resource.

ESLint Plugin
If you're using ESLint, you can install a plugin that will help you identify places in your codebase where you don't (may not) need Lodash/Underscore.
Install the plugin...
npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-you-dont-need-lodash-underscore...then update your config
"extends" : ["plugin:you-dont-need-lodash-underscore/compatible"],For more information, see Configuring the ESLint Plugin
โImportant: Note that, while many Lodash methods are null safe (e.g. _.keys, _.entries), this is not necessarily the case for their Native equivalent. If null safety is critical for your application, we suggest that you take extra precautions [e.g. consider using the native Object.keys as Object.keys(value || {})].

_.chunk
Creates an array of elements split into groups the length of size.
// Underscore/Lodash
_.chunk(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], 2);
// => [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']]
_.chunk(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], 3);
// => [['a', 'b', 'c'], ['d']]
// Native
const chunk = (input, size) => {
return input.reduce((arr, item, idx) => {
return idx % size === 0
? [...arr, [item]]
: [...arr.slice(0, -1), [...arr.slice(-1)[0], item]];
}, []);
};
chunk(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], 2);
// => [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']]

In comparison to the global
isNaN()function,Number.isNaN()doesn't suffer the problem of forcefully converting the parameter to a number. This means it is now safe to pass values that would normally convert toNaN, but aren't actually the same value asNaN. This also means that only values of the type number, that are alsoNaN, return true. Number.isNaN()

_.isNaNis equiv to ES6Number.isNaNwhich is different than the globalisNaN. --- jdalton

Checks if n is between start and up to, but not including, end. If end is not specified, it's set to start with start then set to 0. If start is greater than end the params are swapped to support negative ranges.
// Lodash
_.inRange(3, 2, 4);
// output: true
_.inRange(-3, -2, -6);
// output: true
//Native
const inRange = (num, init, final) => {
if(final === undefined){
final = init;
init = 0;
}
return (num >= Math.min(init, final) && num < Math.max(init, final));
}
//Native
const inRange = (num, a, b=0) => (Math.min(a,b) <= num && num < Math.max(a,b));
inRange(3, 2, 4);
// output: true
inRange(-3, -2, -6);
// output: trueBrowser Support for Math.min() and Math.max()

_.random
Produces a random number between the inclusive lower and upper bounds. If only one argument is provided a number between 0 and the given number is returned. If floating is true, or either lower or upper are floats, a floating-point number is returned instead of an integer.
// Lodash
_.random(0, 5);
// => an integer between 0 and 5
_.random(5);
// => also an integer between 0 and 5
_.random(5, true);
// => a floating-point number between 0 and 5
_.random(1.2, 5.2);
// => a floating-point number between 1.2 and 5.2
//Native ES6
const random = (a = 1, b = 0) => {
const lower = Math.min(a, b);
const upper = Math.max(a, b);
return lower + Math.random() * (upper - lower);
};
const randomInt = (a = 1, b = 0) => {
const lower = Math.ceil(Math.min(a, b));
const upper = Math.floor(Math.max(a, b));
return Math.floor(lower + Math.random() * (upper - lower + 1))
};
random();
// => a floating-point number between 0 and 1
random(5);
// => a floating-point number between 0 and 5
random(0, 5);
// => also a floating-point number between 0 and 5
random(1.2, 5.2);
// => a floating-point number between 1.2 and 5.2
randomInt();
// => just 0 or 1
randomInt(5);
// => an integer between 0 and 5
randomInt(0, 5);
// => also an integer between 0 and 5
randomInt(1.2, 5.2);
// => an integer between 2 and 5Browser Support for Math.random()
