Answer 1

you have to import the library before using it like so

// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");

// The source object
var obj = {
    Name: "GeeksforGeeks",
    password: "gfg@1234",
    username: "your_geeks"
}

// Using the _.pick() method
console.log(_.pick(obj, ['password', 'username']));
