Upgrade lodash packages

[danparnella]

• Resolves lodash dependency issue on projects that use this package
• Switches from per-method packages to the latest whole version of the lodash package: 4.17.21
  • Per method packages didn't appear to be updated as recently and I found this resource that recommended against that anyway: https://medium.com/swlh/dont-use-lodash-per-method-packages-507409a87959

@chawes13 You were suggested, but let me know if someone else should be the reviewer here.

@danparnella It's me. Is this for a client project? In other words, what's the timeline you're looking for here?

[chawes13]

Can you confirm what the delta is in the bundle size?

I was hoping to include it for this release (ending Monday) on ATBS (where I'm upgrading dependency packages) to resolve this dependabot alert.

Can you confirm what the delta is in the bundle size?

Any pointers on finding that? I saw this tool, but it feels like overkill: https://github.com/webpack-contrib/webpack-bundle-analyzer.

That's what we use on the client template! https://github.com/LaunchPadLab/client-template/blob/13bf74803d0ba3871d9263fddf533f29855bd1da/package.json#L12

I don't think we need to add it to the package though, so you could just use npx to run it

@chawes13 I'm not entirely sure I did it correctly. I was seeing this error:

Error parsing bundle asset "/workspaces/dot-index-webpack-plugin/main.js": no such file

No bundles were parsed. Analyzer will show only original module sizes from stats file.

But I did get it to spit out a json file with a "statSize" for each branch:

• main: "statSize": 194021
• branch: "statSize": 692419

I would think that's expected, but wouldn't cause an overall increase in most of our situations since we import lodash already in the client templates.

[chawes13]

Ah I see. Can you confirm that by linking this locally with ATBS or a fresh client-template project?

Thanks for the article link!
