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


The lodash get method in JavaScript is used to retrieve a value from an object given a path. It is useful for accessing deeply nested properties without having to check for undefined values.

Example

const _ = require('lodash');

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

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

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

The code above uses the lodash get method to retrieve the value of the property c in the object obj. The first argument of the get method is the object, and the second argument is a path string that indicates the property to be retrieved.

Parts of the code:

  • require('lodash'): This statement imports the lodash library.
  • _.get(obj, 'a.b.c'): This statement uses the get method to retrieve the value of the property c in the object obj.
  • console.log(value): This statement prints the retrieved value to the console.
