Checks if value is strictly greater than other. Uses the same relational comparison as JavaScript’s > operator. Part of Lodash Lang since 3.9.0 (stable — not deprecated). Note: equal values return false — use _.gte for greater-or-equal.
Pass the value you want to inspect or convert. Read the return type carefully before you use the result.
Call _.gt. Start with this line.
_.gt(value, other)| Call | What it does |
|---|---|
_.gt(value, other) | Primary signature. |
_.gt(value) | Check, compare, clone, or convert a value. |
Prefer import gt from "lodash/gt" when you want a smaller bundle.
_.gt(value, other)| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| value | Required. Left-hand value to compare |
| other | Required. Right-hand value to compare |
| Return Value | Description |
|---|---|
| * | true if value > other, else false |
Strict greater-than for three classic pairs.
console.log(_.gt(3, 1)); // true
console.log(_.gt(3, 3)); // false
console.log(_.gt(1, 3)); // false3 > 1 → true.3 > 3 is false — not greater.1 > 3 → false.gt vs gteEquals pass only with greater-or-equal.
console.log(_.gt(3, 3)); // false
console.log(_.gte(3, 3)); // truetrue.gte.lt vs lte on the other side.Strings use lexicographic UTF-16 order, like >.
console.log(_.gt("b", "a")); // true
console.log(_.gt("a", "b")); // false
console.log(_.gt("10", "9")); // false // "1" < "9""b" comes after "a" → true."a" > "b" → false."10" vs "9" is not numeric — first char "1" loses to "9".Number before comparing numeric strings.NaN Comparisons Are Always FalseOrdered compares involving NaN never succeed.
console.log(_.gt(NaN, 1)); // false
console.log(_.gt(1, NaN)); // false
console.log(_.gt(NaN, NaN)); // falseNaN > x is always false.NaN fails the check.NaN identity use _.eq.Number.isFinite before ordered compares.Use _.gt as a named predicate with _.filter.
var scores = [10, 25, 18, 30];
var high = _.filter(scores, function (n) {
return _.gt(n, 20);
});
console.log(high); // [25, 30]n > 20.25 and 30 succeed.10 and 18 fail._.gt is a Lodash 3.9+ / 4.x Lang helper. It runs anywhere Lodash runs — modern browsers (via CDN or bundle) and Node.js / Bun / Deno with npm install lodash. Native engines already have >; Lodash provides a function form for composition.
Available in [email protected] full builds and the lodash/gt modular import. Works in evergreen browsers and current Node LTS when Lodash is installed.
Bottom line: Safe for production once Lodash is on the page or in your bundle. Prefer import gt from "lodash/gt" for smaller builds. Equivalent to the native > operator as a named function.
Check whether one value is greater than or equal to another.
