babel-plugin-lodash VS lodash

Alternatively, there is a Babel plugin that can do this for you. There is also a webpack plugin that will further optimize things.

Similar to babel-plugin-import, the babel-plugin-lodash plugin cherry picks the code we need to import from lodash. The parsed size of the entire lodash package is ~600KB, so we definitely don’t want everything.

If you try the search now and pay attention to the network tab in developer tools, you will notice that a new request is fired off with each keystroke. While our current dataset is small and loads quickly, this behavior is not suitable for real-world applications. Larger datasets can lead to slow loading times, and with multiple users performing searches simultaneously, the server could become overloaded. Fortunately, we have a solution in the Lodash library, which contains various useful JavaScript utilities. One of them is debouncing, which allows us to delay function calls by leaving us some time to call the same function again. That way, only the latest call within a specified time period will be triggered. A commonly used delay for this kind of functionality is 500 milliseconds. We can install Lodash by running the command npm install lodash. In the import, we only reference the part that we need instead of taking the whole library.

I wanted to use the Lodash library for this example, so I used the following command to add the library to my import-map project:

Lodash is a utility library that provides helpful functions for common programming tasks such as manipulating arrays, objects, and strings.

Lo-Dash is a clone of Underscore that aims to be faster, more customizable, and has quite a few functions that underscore doesn't have. Certain versions of it can be used as drop-in replacements of underscore.

Lodash: Utility library used in the application to makes working with arrays, numbers, objects, strings, etc. easier and time effective.
