Cannot find module 'lodash' error [Solved]

The “Cannot find module ‘lodash’” error occurs due to one of the following reasons:

  1. The lodash module is not installed in the correct project directory.

  2. Using the module without installing it in the project.

  3. Installed the module in a global context and trying to access in project local context.

To solve the error “Cannot find module ‘lodash’”, open the project root folder in your terminal and run the following command to install the lodash module.

npm install lodash

const _ = require('lodash/lodash');

const a = _.join(['a', 'b', 'c'], '~');
console.log(a); // => 'a~b~c'

If you want to install a particular version of ‘lodash’ module, you can use the following command.

npm install lodash@4.17.21

If you’re still facing the error, then follow the below steps to resolve it.

  1. Remove the node_modules folder and package-lock.json file, inside your project directory by using the below command.
rm-rf node_modules package-lock.json

or you can remove it manually by right-clicking on it and select the delete option.

  1. Clear the npm cache.
npm clean cache --force
  1. Re-install the node modules again by running the npm install command.

Verify now if you’ve installed it correctly or not by opening the package.json file and check for lodash module in the dependencies object.

 "dependencies": {
     //...
    "lodash": "^4.17.21",

    //.. other packages
 }
