Native JavaScript replaces many Lodash functions, shrinking bundles

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Developers can now replace many common Lodash utility functions with native JavaScript features, significantly reducing bundle sizes. New ES2026 additions like `Object.groupBy`, `Map.groupBy`, `Array.fromAsync`, `toReversed`, and `toSorted` offer built-in alternatives for tasks previously requiring the Lodash library. While Lodash still holds advantages for specific functions such as deep equality checks or debouncing, most teams can now achieve similar results with native code, leading to smaller client bundles and improved performance.
