javascript-lodashHow do I use the lodash get function in JavaScript?

The _.get() function in Lodash is used to retrieve a value from an object given a path. It is a safe way to access a property of an object, as it will return undefined if the path does not exist instead of throwing an error.

Example code

const object = {
  a: {
    b: {
      c: 'value'
    }
  }
};

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

console.log(value);

Output example

value

The code above uses the _.get() function to retrieve the value of 'a.b.c' from the object variable. The _.get() function takes two parameters, the object and the path. The path is a string that is used to access the value. In this case, 'a.b.c' is the path and value is the value that is returned.

Code explanation

• const object: Declares a variable named object and assigns it a value.
• const value = _.get(object, 'a.b.c'): Uses the _.get() function to retrieve the value of 'a.b.c' from the object variable and assigns it to the value variable.
• console.log(value): Logs the value of the value variable to the console.
