Deepdash

eachDeep, filterDeep, findDeep, someDeep, omitDeep, pickDeep, keysDeep etc.. Tree traversal library written in Underscore/Lodash fashion. Standalone or as a Lodash mixin extension

Deepdash lib is used in PlanZed.org - awesome cloud mind map app created by the author of deepdash.
Plz check it, it's free and I need feedback 😉

<br>

Installation

In a browser

Load script after Lodash, then pass a lodash instance to the deepdash function:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/lodash/lodash.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/deepdash/browser/deepdash.min.js"></script>
<script>
  deepdash(_);
  console.log(_.eachDeep); // --> new methods mixed into Lodash
</script>

If you don't use Lodash - there is a standalone version:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/deepdash/browser/deepdash.standalone.min.js"></script>
<script>
  console.log(deepdash.eachDeep); // --> all the methods just work
</script>

Standalone Deepdash weighs more then "dry" version, because it includes some of cherry-picked Lodash methods it depends on. But it's better to use Standalone version, than include full Lodash just as dependency, if you don't need Lodash.

Using npm:

npm i --save deepdash

In Node.js:

// load Lodash if you need it
const _ = require('lodash');
//mixin all the methods into Lodash object
require('deepdash')(_);
// or cherry-pick method you only need and mix it into lodash
require('deepdash/addFilterDeep')(_);
// or cherry-pick method separately if you don't want to mutate Lodash instance
const filterDeep = require('deepdash/getFilterDeep')(_);
// If you don't need Lodash - there is standalone version
const deepdash = require('deepdash/standalone'); // full
const filterDeep = require('deepdash/filterDeep'); // or separate standalone methods

There is also deepdash as ES6 module

npm i --save deepdash-es

import lodash from 'lodash-es';
import deepdash from 'deepdash-es';
const _ = deepdash(lodash);

in the ES package there are same cherry-pick and/or standalone methods as in the main package.

import filterDeep from 'deepdash-es/filterDeep';

or

import { filterDeep } from 'deepdash-es/standalone';

or

import _ from 'lodash-es';
import getFilterDeep from 'deepdash-es/getFilterDeep';
const filterDeep = getFilterDeep(_);

or

import _ from 'lodash-es';
import addFilterDeep from 'deepdash-es/addFilterDeep';
addFilterDeep(_);// --> _.filterDeep
