Lodash is a JavaScript library that provides utility functions for common programming tasks. It can be used to find a key in a nested JavaScript object.

The _.get() function can be used to traverse the object and return the value of the key. It takes three arguments: the object, the path of the key, and a default value.

Example

const data = {
  a: {
    b: {
      c: 'foo'
    }
  }
};

const value = _.get(data, 'a.b.c', 'default');

console.log(value);
// Output: 'foo'

In the example above, data is the object, 'a.b.c' is the path of the key, and 'default' is the default value. The _.get() function will return the value of the key 'c', which is 'foo'.

The _.get() function is useful for finding a key in a nested JavaScript object.

Parts of code:

• const data = { ... }: this is the object containing the nested keys
• const value = _.get(data, 'a.b.c', 'default'): this is the _.get() function call, which takes the object, the path of the key, and a default value
• console.log(value): this logs the value of the key to the console
