Is there any way to rename js object keys using underscore.js

Question

I need to convert a js object to another object for passing onto a server post where the names of the keys differ for example

var a = {
    name : \"Foo\",

You can create your new custom function :

lodash.rename = function(obj, keys, newKeys) {
  keys.map((key, index) => {
    if(lodash.includes(lodash.keys(obj), key)) {
      obj[newKeys[index]] = lodash.clone(obj[key], true);
      delete obj[key];
    }
  });
  return obj;
};

Or else if you want to edit only one keyName:

lodash.rename = function(obj, key, newKey) {
    if(lodash.includes(lodash.keys(obj), key)) {
      obj[newKeys[index]] = lodash.clone(obj[key], true);
      delete obj[key];
    }
  return obj;
};
