Lodash _.toPlainObject() Method

The _.toPlainObject() method is used to convert the specified value to a plain object flattening inherited enumerable string keyed properties of value to own properties of the plain object.

Syntax:

_.toPlainObject(value)

Parameters: This method accepts a parameter as mentioned above and described below:

  • value: This parameter holds a value to convert.

Return Value: This method returns the converted plain object.

Example 1:

Javascript




// Defining Lodash variable
const _ = require('lodash');
  
// Initializing a function gfg()
function gfg() {
    this.a = 1;
}
   
// Calling _.toPlainObject() function
console.log(_.assign({ 'b': 2 }, 
    _.toPlainObject(new gfg)));


Output:

{ b: 2, a: 1 }

Example 2:

Javascript




// Defining Lodash variable
const _ = require('lodash');
  
// Initializing a function gfg()
function gfg() {
     this.c = 4;
}
gfg.prototype.b = 2; 
  
// Calling _.toPlainObject() function
console.log( _.toPlainObject(new gfg) );


Output:

{ c: 4, b: 2 }

Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript as it requires the lodash library to be installed.
