What is the Lodash merge function?

The Lodash merge function is used to deeply merge two or more objects. It combines properties from source objects into a destination object.

Can you give me an example of how to use it?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const _ = require('lodash');

const object = { 'a': [{ 'b': 2 }, { 'd': 4 }] };
const other = { 'a': [{ 'c': 3 }, { 'e': 5 }] };

const merged = _.merge(object, other);
console.log(merged);
// Output: { 'a': [{ 'b': 2, 'c': 3 }, { 'd': 4, 'e': 5 }] }

What happens if there are conflicting properties?

In case of conflicting properties, the values from the source objects will overwrite the values in the destination object. The merge function performs a deep merge, so it will also merge nested objects.
