What is best way to import _ from lodash?

I am using several functions from _ like sortBy . But I do not need complete lodash.

I am using other funtions too from lodash like following

import map from 'lodash/map'

But when I try following

import _ from 'lodash/_'

I get error cannot find module 'lodash/_'

If I simply use following it works

import _ from 'lodash'

But this will carry complete lodash in bundle file which increases size. Can any one please suggest me optimum way to import _ from lodash ?

Solution

  • You can install Lodash via NPM and then import only single functions. This works as follows:

    import { merge, isEqual } from 'lodash';

// use them like regular functions
merge({ a: 1 }, { b: 2 });
