lodash.pick

What is lodash.pick?

The lodash.pick npm package is a method from the Lodash library that creates an object composed of the picked object properties. It allows users to select specific properties from an object, which can be useful for filtering out unwanted data, creating subsets of objects, or selecting specific fields for display or further processing.

What are lodash.pick's main functionalities?

Picking specific properties from an object

This feature allows you to select a subset of properties from an object. The code sample demonstrates how to pick properties 'a' and 'c' from the object, resulting in a new object with just those properties.

{"const object = { 'a': 1, 'b': '2', 'c': 3 };
const picked = _.pick(object, ['a', 'c']);
console.log(picked); // => { 'a': 1, 'c': 3 }"}

Other packages similar to lodash.pick

object.pick

object.pick is a simple utility to pick properties from an object. It is similar to lodash.pick but is a standalone package that does not include the full Lodash library. It is useful when you want to keep your bundle size smaller and only need the pick functionality.

pick-deep

pick-deep allows for picking properties from an object, including nested properties using dot notation. This package extends the functionality of lodash.pick by enabling deep selection, which is not supported by lodash.pick without additional custom code.

just-pick

just-pick is part of the 'just' utility library, which is a collection of zero-dependency npm modules that do just do one thing. It is similar to lodash.pick but is more modular and lightweight, making it a good choice for projects where minimizing dependencies is important.
