Lodash 4.0 TypeError: _.contains is not a function

[yoshuacas]

I noticed that lodash 4.0 was released 2 days ago, and also noticed that Restangular no longer works..

I receive TypeError: _.contains is not a function.

In the code of lodash you can see how the _.contains alias was removed, will you guys update something? I don't want to have crazy fixes made in my code.

[yoshuacas]

I've made the following in my project in the meantime:

bower uninstall restangular bower uninstall lodash bower install --save lodash#3.10.1 bower install --save restangular

[vikasrohit]

I started to get the same error because restangular is having dependency on lodash >= '1.3.0'

...a file called lodash.min.js simply doesn't exist.

[derekgreer]

This is probably understood given the error, but lodash uses semantic versioning which restangular isn't respecting within its bower.json file. That needs to be changed to be > 3.10.1 and < 4.0.0

[rbatllet]

The bower support has been removed in Lodash 4.0.0 in favor of npm:

Any solution for this issue?

[yourcontainer]

I have a some problem with this issue, it is critical for my project, can you fix it, please?

[jadjoubran]

@nitish24p @yourcontainer you can use the fix suggested by @yoshuacas I applied the fix and it works.

[xeor]

The fix is really simple. This is a dupe of #1298 The fix is as simple as https://github.com/xeor/restangular/commit/16d69aff50a9182d7582836388f6e403851673ca

[Frank3K]

@xeor: can you make a PR? I think your fix is better than #1295.

[xeor]

Sorry for the delay, but https://github.com/mgonto/restangular/pull/1301 is created

[lougaou]

+1

[rbatllet]

It seems that Restangular has been completely abandoned by @mgonto. What a pity!

[ConcurrentHashMap]

Hey all,

I'm in contact to @mgonto and told him about all the confusion going on here. He will shortly open up a separate issue to write about the situation of Restangular. Please stay tuned for that. I'm in a good mood that there is a future for the maintenance of Restangular!

[xeor]

The new Http module in angular2 have gotten much more love than the one we had in angular1. It makes me think that restangular have done its job keeping us all sane using angular1, (which I think we are all very happy for). They might think that we can move on to using the native Http library from now. Just some thoughts... Lets wait for a more official answer from @mgonto :)

[rbatllet]

But what happens to angular 1.x and the bugs related to the new Lodash 4.x, @xeor?

[ConcurrentHashMap]

Good news - the issue is fixed by the recently released v1.5.2.

@rbatllet Please read on #1319 for this. I will try to do my best maintaining restangular 1.x, maybe @xeor will also be available to help me with that? :) I see he is very active in this repository and maybe he would also like to do further development for the next major release of restangular?

Thanks to everyone for reporting bugs and doing awesome pull requests!

[niemyjski]

@ConcurrentHashMap I don't see how 1.5.2 fixed anything. The change list only shows the readme as being updated :(. I ran the lodash-migrate script and I'm seeing a bunch of warnings for reduce.

lodash-migrate.js:163 lodash-migrate: _.reduce([ [ route: 'projects', getRestangularUrl: [Function: wrapper], getRequestedUr...)
  v3.10.1 => 'https://api.xxx.io/api/v2/projects'
  v4.4.0 => 'https://api.xxx.io/api/v2/undefined'

https://github.com/exceptionless/Exceptionless.UI/tree/feature/chart-options

[ConcurrentHashMap]

@niemyjski Which change list do you mean? I updated the changelog and added the 1.5.2 tag to the commit that changed the obsolete functions to the right ones.

To reproduce your problem, could you explain which lodash version you were on before? I didn't use the lodash-migrate before.

For now the best would be to fix the lodash version to 3.10.1, this shouldn't do any problems or did you experience other issues?

Sorry for the problems you currently experience; I was afraid that my release would break something, but the good part of it is, that we're finally moving forward with small steps now! Thanks to you!

[niemyjski]

I was looking at the commits since this release instead of (https://github.com/mgonto/restangular/compare/1.5.1...1.5.2).. My bad.. I was on 3.10.1 and then upgraded to latest and used the migration plugin and it told me about those in the console.

Yeah no problem! I figured it would be good to let you guys know :)

[nitish24p]

@nitish24p The big unsubscribe button on the right hand side.

[niemyjski]

@ConcurrentHashMap Any ideas on this?

[niemyjski]

Everything appears to be working, but a bit worried about those messages from lodash-migrate.

[YassineFadhlaoui]

sorry for this late answer This famous issue can be easily solved by adding this script to your index.html file after including lodash :

<script>
     _.contains = _.includes;
    </script>

or you can browse the restangular.js file and change .contains by .includes but i prefer the second solution it's more effective

[niemyjski]

Not really feasible solution..

[brendon-colburn]

@niemyjski why do you consider this not feasible? The solution works well for me although it's admittedly very work-aroundish. Mgonto has mentioned elsewhere on the forums that he won't be actively maintaining moving forward and has asked that the community step up in that regard. So if you have an idea of a better way to do this please share. Thanks!

[niemyjski]

@brendon-colburn get commit access and fix the real issue :)

[brendon-colburn]

I stand somewhat corrected after discovering this thing called reading past threads, haha. So 1.5.2 accomplishes the same thing @YassineFadhlaoui suggested. I've been on 1.4 because no one has updated nuget and I'm in the .NET visual studio world. I'll manually update, begrudgingly. @niemyjski I noticed that you were getting issues in regards to your lodash-migrate which I learned today is a way of keeping your lodash library up to date. My (probably antiquated, thanks .NET community) version of lodash doesn't throw any console errors my way.
