Fuck Lodash

You Know What I Mean.

This is a more complete version than You Don't Need Lodash/Underscore or You Might Not Need Lodash, with additional features:

• 📦 bundle size comparsion, powered by esbuild and bundlejs.com.
• 🚀 performance benchmark, powered by vitest.

A good lodash function alternative should be both smaller and faster. In some cases, here is no drop-in replacement, you have to modify your code a little bit.

Array

chunk

// 📦 1.87 kB (gzip)
// 🚀 5.24 mHz
import chunk from 'lodash/chunk';

chunk(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], 2);

// 📦 126 B (gzip), 93% smaller 👍
// 🚀 7.41 mHz, 20% slower 👍
const chunk = (arr, chunkSize = 1, cache = []) => {
  const tmp = [...arr];
  if (chunkSize <= 0) return cache;
  while (tmp.length) cache.push(tmp.splice(0, chunkSize));
  return cache;
};

chunk(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], 2);

compact

// 📦 426 B (gzip)
// 🚀 5.52 mHz
import compact from 'lodash/compact';

// 📦 53 B (gzip), 87% smaller 👍
// 🚀 14.5 mHz, 163% faster 👍

concat

// 📦 1.27 kB (gzip)
// 🚀 1.96 mHz

import differenceBy from 'lodash/differenceBy';

differenceBy([{ x: 2 }, { x: 1 }], [{ x: 1 }], 'x');

// 📦 162 B (gzip), 98% smaller 👍
// 🚀 2.58 mHz, 146% faster 👍
const differenceBy = (arr1, arr2, iteratee) => {
  if (typeof iteratee === 'string') {
    const prop = iteratee;
    iteratee = (item) => item[prop];
  }
