Lodash Importing

Context

Lodash could become quite large in the final bundle of your application.

Default or destructuring imports from lodash are not tree-shaking friendly, therefore, you will end up bundling all the functions from the package.

import _ from 'lodash'; // bad
import { merge } from 'lodash'; // bad

Lodash team mentioned that you could import the submodule, or rely on a Babel plugin . Using the Babel plugin requires build-tool knowledge, and it is less explicit about the intention. Saving little to no time over typing the submodule.

Resolution

• You MUST import from the submodules of the lodash package:

  import funcNameExample from 'lodash/func-name-example';
