umd-lodash

UMD builds for modularized Lodash functions.

This project provides each Lodash function as a standalone UMD module, making them easy to use in plain script tags, SystemJS, ES modules, or any environment without a bundler. You can also use this for externalization in bundlers (like Webpack) and load Lodash functions as UMD modules from a CDN, reducing your bundle size and allowing dynamic loading.

🚀 Externalization Example (Webpack) and direct link to CDN

You can configure your bundler (e.g., Webpack) to externalize Lodash functions and load them as UMD modules from a CDN:

``js
// webpack.config.js
const lodashFnsToExternalize = ["uniq", "flatten"];
const externals = Object.fromEntries(
lodashFnsToExternalize.map((fn) => [
lodash/${fn},
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/umd-lodash@1.1.0/dist/${fn}.min.js,
])
);

module.exports = {
// ...existing config...
externals,
// Configure externalsType/output.library.type as 'system'.
// If you use the plugins of single-spa this may be implicit.
};
`

Tip: You can use an alias (e.g., npm/umd-lodash@1.1.0/dist/${fn}.min.js) and resolve it to the CDN using a SystemJS import map in your index.html:

`html

`

This allows you to reference modules using the npm/ prefix, which SystemJS will resolve to the CDN automatically.

🌐 Usage via jsDelivr CDN

You can use any Lodash function by adding its script. Each UMD build exposes the function as a property of the global _ object (e.g., _.noop, _.chunk).

📂 Available Functions

Every Lodash function (except internals like _base*) is exported as an individual UMD build under dist/.

$3

For every Lodash function, a non-minified build is also available at dist/.js in addition to the minified version. Use the non-minified files for easier debugging or development.

Example paths:

- dist/assign.min.js and dist/assign.js
- dist/chunk.min.js and dist/chunk.js
- dist/camelCase.min.js and dist/camelCase.js
- dist/uniq.min.js and dist/uniq.js
- dist/flatten.min.js and dist/flatten.js
- dist/debounce.min.js and dist/debounce.js
- dist/noop.min.js and dist/noop.js`
