Lodash _.isPlainObject() Method
Lodash is a JavaScript library that works on the top of underscore.js. Lodash helps in working with arrays, collection, strings, lang, function, objects, numbers etc.
The _.isPlainObject() method checks if value is a plain object which means an object created by the Object constructor or one with a [[Prototype]] of null.
Syntax:
_.isPlainObject(value)
Parameters: This method accepts single parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- value: It is the function that is used to check the value.
Return Value: This method returns true if value is a plain object else false.
Example 1: Here, const _ = require(‘lodash’) is used to import the lodash library in the file.
// Requiring the lodash library const _ = require("lodash");        // Original array var object = _.isPlainObject(Object.create(null));   // Using the _.isPlainObject() method let plain_data = ( object);   // Printing the output console.log(plain_data); |
Output:
true
Example 2:
// Requiring the lodash library const _ = require("lodash");        // Original array var object = _.isPlainObject([1, 2, 3]);   // Using the _.isPlainObject() method let plain_data = ( object);   // Printing the output console.log(plain_data); |
Output:
false
Example 3:
// Requiring the lodash library const _ = require("lodash");        // Original array var object = _.isPlainObject({ 'x': 0, 'y': 0 });   // Using the _.isPlainObject() method let plain_data = ( object);   // Printing the output console.log(plain_data); |
Output:
true
Note: This code will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the library lodash to be installed.
