Lodash _.toPlainObject() Method

Lodash _.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:

• value: This parameter holds a value to convert.

Return Value:

This method returns the converted plain object.

Example 1: In this example, we are converting the given object into the plain object by the use of the lodash _.toPlainObject() method.

// 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: In this example, we are converting the given object into the plain object by the use of the lodash _.toPlainObject() method.

// 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.
