how to use the __proto__ function from lodash in javascript

To use the __proto__ function from lodash in JavaScript, follow these steps:

  1. First, you need to install the lodash library in your project. You can install it using the following command:

    index.tsx
    npm install lodash
    
    19 chars
    2 lines
  2. Once installed you can import the __proto__ function into your JavaScript code as follows:

    index.tsx
    const { __proto__ } = require('lodash');
    
    41 chars
    2 lines

    or you can import it using ES6 syntax:

    index.tsx
    import { __proto__ } from 'lodash';
    
    36 chars
    2 lines
  3. Now you can use the __proto__ function to retrieve the prototype of an object:

    index.tsx
    const myObj = { name: 'John' };
    const myObjProto = __proto__(myObj);
    console.log(myObjProto); // outputs: {}
    
    109 chars
    4 lines

    In the example above, we retrieve the prototype of the myObj object using the __proto__ function, and assign the returned value to the myObjProto variable. We then log the myObjProto variable to the console.

    Note that the __proto__ function returns an empty object {} in this case, as myObj does not have any own properties or methods defined on its prototype.

    It's important to note that the __proto__ function is not specific to lodash, but is a built-in function in JavaScript. However, lodash provides a cross-browser implementation of this function.
