What this system is
This system is an ESLint plugin designed to help developers identify and replace Lodash or Underscore method calls with native JavaScript equivalents. It provides configurable rule sets that detect specific utility usage and suggest modern, built-in alternatives to reduce external dependencies. The project includes comprehensive testing to ensure rule accuracy and configuration integrity.
Features
ESLint plugin for native Lodash/Underscore alternatives
The repository now includes an ESLint plugin (\eslint-plugin-you-dont-need-lodash-underscore\) that helps identify places in your codebase where you can replace Lodash or Underscore methods with native JavaScript equivalents. The plugin provides several pre-configured rule sets (\all\, \compatible\, \all-warn\, \compatible-warn\) to enforce or warn about these replacements, allowing developers to reduce dependencies and leverage modern browser capabilities.

ESLint plugin now detects and suggests native replacements for Lodash methods
The \lib/rules\ directory now contains the core ESLint plugin logic (\all.js\) and rule definitions (\rules.json\) that automatically detect usage of Lodash, Lodash FP, and Lodash ES imports (via \require\ or \import\ statements) and flag them as violations. For each detected method, the linter suggests a specific native JavaScript alternative (such as \Array.isArray\ for \\.isArray\ or \Object.keys\ for \\.keys\), enabling developers to progressively remove Lodash dependencies from their codebase.

Removals
Removal of placeholder convert.js file
The placeholder file convert/convert.js, which previously only contained a console log message, has been removed from the project.

Test coverage
Added comprehensive ESLint rule tests for lodash/underscore replacements; Added tests for ESLint plugin configuration rules; Added unit tests for Lodash function compatibility.
Dependencies
Package restructured as an ESLint plugin with updated dependencies
The project has been transformed from a static list into a functional ESLint plugin (eslint-plugin-you-dont-need-lodash-underscore). This change introduces a new runtime dependency on kebab-case and updates development dependencies, including upgrading ESLint to version 8.48.0 and Mocha to version 12.0.1. The package metadata has been updated to reflect its new identity, including a new repository URL, added contributors, and specified entry points.

About this page
- The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 1 October 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
- Measured at commit b649edecb6ad71abb1fecd0d9a0ef19b3c0eddd1 — the exact code this score is about.
- Scored under rubric-2026.09.18 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
- Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-e569280dd5e2.
