## What it is
A webpack plugin that creates smaller modular Lodash builds by replacing feature sets of modules with noop, identity, or simpler alternatives. It complements babel-plugin-lodash by shrinking cherry-picked Lodash builds even further.

## Use cases
- reduce lodash bundle size in webpack builds
- strip unused lodash feature sets like unicode or chaining
- optimize javascript bundle for production
- complement babel-plugin-lodash with further shrinking
- remove deep property path support from lodash builds

## When to choose
- you use lodash heavily and want the smallest possible bundle
- you already use babel-plugin-lodash and webpack
- you know exactly which lodash feature sets your code needs

## When to avoid
- you rely on lodash features disabled by default and cannot audit behavior changes
- you don't use webpack as your bundler
- your project no longer receives updates since the plugin is in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: build-tool, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: webpack-plugin, lodash, tree-shaking, bundle-size, javascript, nodejs
