Lodash Internal baseValues Function

Common errors

• TypeError: (0 , lodash__basevalues__1.default) is not a function

  cause Attempting to use `import baseValues from 'lodash._basevalues'` in an ES module environment when the package is a CommonJS module exporting a single function.
  fix Use `const baseValues = require('lodash._basevalues');` for CommonJS environments. In ESM, if strict compatibility is required, `import * as baseValuesModule from 'lodash._basevalues'; const baseValues = baseValuesModule.default;` might work, but migration is recommended.

• ReferenceError: baseValues is not defined

  cause The `require()` call was not assigned to a variable, or the variable name was misspelled, or the package was not correctly installed/found.
  fix Ensure `const baseValues = require('lodash._basevalues');` is correctly placed and that `lodash._basevalues` is listed in your `package.json` and installed via `npm install`.

• Error: Cannot find module 'lodash._basevalues'

  cause The package `lodash._basevalues` is not installed or the path to the module is incorrect.
  fix Run `npm install lodash._basevalues` to install the package. Verify the package name in your `require()` statement matches the installed package.

Warnings

• breaking This package belongs to the Lodash v3 modular build system. With the release of Lodash v4, the entire modular strategy changed significantly, making this specific package incompatible or redundant with modern `lodash` or `lodash-es` consumption patterns. Direct usage of internal modules like `_basevalues` is generally discouraged and has been superseded by tree-shakable `lodash-es` or specific paths within the main `lodash` package.
  Fix: For new projects or migrations, prefer `lodash-es` for tree-shaking or use specific function imports from the main `lodash` package (e.g., `import { values } from 'lodash';`). If `baseValues` is strictly needed, consider extracting its logic directly or using `Object.values()` for simple cases.
• deprecated This package is based on Lodash v3 and is not actively maintained. It will not receive updates for new features, bug fixes, or security patches relevant to modern Lodash versions. Relying on an unmaintained internal module can lead to compatibility issues and security vulnerabilities.
  Fix: Migrate to modern Lodash alternatives (`lodash-es`) or use native JavaScript equivalents (e.g., `Object.values()`) for collecting values from objects. Audit your dependencies to remove unmaintained packages.
• gotcha As a CommonJS module, `lodash._basevalues` does not natively support ES module `import` syntax. Attempting to use `import baseValues from 'lodash._basevalues'` will often result in a `TypeError` at runtime, especially in pure ESM environments, or require complex bundler configurations.
  Fix: Use the CommonJS `require()` syntax: `const baseValues = require('lodash._basevalues');`. If you must use it in an ESM context, you might need `import * as baseValuesModule from 'lodash._basevalues'; const baseValues = baseValuesModule.default;` and ensure your build tooling handles CJS interoperability.
• gotcha While Lodash v4.18.0 and v4.18.1 addressed critical security vulnerabilities (e.g., prototype pollution via `_.unset` / `_.omit`) and `ReferenceError` bugs in the main `lodash` and modular builds, this `_basevalues` package is stuck at v3.0.0. Therefore, it does not benefit from these security and bug fixes, potentially leaving applications vulnerable if used in conjunction with other vulnerable Lodash components or contexts.
  Fix: Discontinue use of this package and migrate to the latest, actively maintained versions of `lodash` or `lodash-es` to benefit from all security patches and bug fixes.

Install

• npm install lodash._basevalues npm
• yarn add lodash._basevalues yarn
• pnpm add lodash._basevalues pnpm

Imports

• baseValues

  const baseValues = require('lodash._basevalues');

  This package is a CommonJS module from Lodash v3, designed for `require()`.
• baseValues (ESM attempt)
  wrong:

  import baseValues from 'lodash._basevalues';

  correct:
  This package is a CommonJS module. Direct ES module default imports are not supported without specific transpilation or interop settings, and typically result in a `TypeError`.
• baseValues (ESM namespace import)
  wrong:

  import * as baseValuesModule from 'lodash._basevalues';
  const baseValues = baseValuesModule.default;

  correct:
  While this pattern allows importing the CommonJS module object in ESM, `lodash._basevalues` is not designed for modern tree-shaking. The actual function is then accessed via the `.default` property.

Quickstart

Demonstrates how to import and use the `baseValues` function to extract property values from various inputs like objects and arrays, showcasing its direct application.

const baseValues = require('lodash._basevalues');

// Example 1: Extracting values from a plain object
const myObject = {
  id: 101,
  name: 'Widget A',
  price: 29.99,
  available: true,
  tags: ['electronics', 'gadget']
};

const objectValues = baseValues(myObject);
console.log('Values from object:', objectValues);
// Expected output: [101, 'Widget A', 29.99, true, ['electronics', 'gadget']] (order may vary in older JS engines)

// Example 2: Extracting values from an array (treated as an object with numeric keys)
const myArray = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'];
const arrayValues = baseValues(myArray);
console.log('Values from array:', arrayValues);
// Expected output: ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

// Example 3: Handling non-object inputs (Lodash typically returns an empty array)
console.log('Values from null:', baseValues(null));
console.log('Values from undefined:', baseValues(undefined));
