Proppy vs Underscore: What are the differences?
Developers describe Proppy as "Functional props composition for components". ProppyJS is a tiny 1.5kB JavaScript library for composing props (object that components receive to render themselves) The generated props can then be used in your favourite components-based UI framework (like React or Vue.js).. On the other hand, Underscore is detailed as "JavaScript's utility _ belt". A JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects.
Proppy and Underscore belong to "Javascript Utilities & Libraries" category of the tech stack.
Proppy and Underscore are both open source tools. It seems that Underscore with 24.6K GitHub stars and 5.41K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Proppy with 831 GitHub stars and 14 GitHub forks.
Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) provides standard data objects in JSON format for the healthcare industry. Since JSON objects are hierarchical and tree-like, we had a need to defensively 'pluck' fields from our JSON objects and do lots of mapping. We tried jQuery and Underscore and a few other technologies like FHIRPath; but Lodash has been the most well supported, works in the most contexts, has the cleanest syntax, etc. We particularly like the ES6 version of Lodash, where we can import
the method names directly, without resorting to * or _ syntax. We got hooked on the 'get' function to defensively pluck fields from objects without crashing our user interface, and have found countless uses for the other lodash functions throughout our apps.
Lodash is great for developing and optimizing algorithms.
