Object.assign vs lodash _.assign

Question

Looking at the documentation for ES6 Object.assign and Lodash _.assign it looks like these function in exactly the same way.

Is that a correct understanding? Or am I missing something?

Answer 1

Depends on the browser. Per the lodash docs:

Made _.assign use built-in Object.assign when available.

You can go here for browser support:

Basically, IE doesn't have support so lodash's code is used in that case
