What replaced lodash.get?

optional chaining (?.) covers this in the language or runtime now, so the right move is to delete the dependency rather than replace it. There is no package to install; the dependency comes out and platform code goes in.

How to migrate from lodash.get to optional chaining (?.)

get(obj, 'a.b.c', fallback) becomes obj?.a?.b?.c ?? fallback. If the path is only known at runtime, keep get from the full lodash package instead.

Why lodash.get is on this list

The single-method lodash.get package was last published in August 2016 and now carries a deprecation notice from the lodash maintainers reading "This package is deprecated. Use the optional chaining (?.) operator instead." Optional chaining is supported in every maintained Node version and browser. The per-method lodash.* packages as a group are no longer being updated.

The succession is settled: primary sources agree and the ecosystem has already moved.

lodash.get alternatives

Beyond the primary recommendation, these are credible for lodash.get's use case:

• lodash — view on npm

Check your own project for lodash.get

npx dead-deps --all --min-state unmaintained

Run that in the directory holding your lockfile. If lodash.get is anywhere in your tree — a direct dependency or buried under something else — it appears in the report with this verdict, this successor and the same evidence links, alongside anything else that has stopped moving. Nothing is uploaded; the scan reads your lockfile locally and queries public registry metadata.

Exit code 1 means something was flagged, which makes npx dead-deps --min-state deprecated usable as a CI gate. See how verdicts are produced.
