javascript-lodashHow can I use Lodash to sort an array of objects by key value in JavaScript?


Using Lodash, you can sort an array of objects by key value in JavaScript by using the _.sortBy() method. This method takes an array and a sorting function as its arguments. The sorting function should take an object as its argument and return the value to sort by.

For example:

let arr = [
  { name: 'John', age: 20 },
  { name: 'Jane', age: 18 },
  { name: 'Bob', age: 22 }
];

let sorted = _.sortBy(arr, o => o.age);

console.log(sorted);

Output example

[
  { name: 'Jane', age: 18 },
  { name: 'John', age: 20 },
  { name: 'Bob', age: 22 }
]

The _.sortBy() method takes an array, arr, and a sorting function as its arguments. The sorting function, o => o.age, takes an object, o, as its argument and returns the value to sort by, o.age. The sorted array is then stored in the sorted variable. The output of the code is an array of objects sorted by age.
