How to Import a Single Lodash Function?

Question

Using webpack, I\'m trying to import isEqual since lodash seems to be importing everything. I\'ve tried doing the following with no success:

imp         


        

Answer 1

With webpack 4 and lodash-es 4.17.7 and higher, this code works.

import { isEqual } from 'lodash-es';

This is because webpack 4 supports sideEffects flag and lodash-es 4.17.7 and higher includes the flag (which is set to false).

Edit

As of version 1.9.0, Parcel also supports "sideEffects": false, threrefore import { isEqual } from 'lodash-es'; is also tree shakable with Parcel.
