What are some alternatives to lodash.merge?

There are several alternatives to lodash.merge, such as Object.assign, deepmerge, and immer. Would you like to know more about any of these?

Can you explain how deepmerge works?

Sure! deepmerge is a library that allows you to deeply merge objects. It handles arrays and nested objects more intuitively than Object.assign.

How does it handle arrays during the merge?

deepmerge can be configured to either concatenate arrays or replace them entirely, depending on your needs.

Is there a performance difference between these methods?

Yes, performance can vary. lodash.merge is optimized for performance, but for smaller objects, Object.assign might be faster.

Which one should I use for a large dataset?

For large datasets, lodash.merge is often preferred due to its performance optimizations.
