Checks if value is less than or equal to other. Part of Lodash Lang since 3.9.0 (stable — not deprecated). Note: equal values return true — use _.lt for strict less-than.
Pass the value you want to inspect or convert. Read the return type carefully before you use the result.
Call _.lte. Start with this line.
_.lte(value, other)| Call | What it does |
|---|---|
_.lte(value, other) | Primary signature. |
_.lte(value) | Check, compare, clone, or convert a value. |
Prefer import lte from "lodash/lte" when you want a smaller bundle.
_.lte(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 |
Less-than-or-equal for three classic pairs.
console.log(_.lte(1, 3)); // true
console.log(_.lte(3, 3)); // true
console.log(_.lte(3, 1)); // false1 ≤ 3 → true.3 ≤ 3 → true — boundary included.3 ≤ 1 → false.lte vs ltEquals pass only with less-or-equal.
console.log(_.lte(3, 3)); // true
console.log(_.lt(3, 3)); // falsetrue.lte.gte vs gt on the other side.Both-string pairs use lexicographic UTF-16 order.
console.log(_.lte("a", "b")); // true
console.log(_.lte("a", "a")); // true
console.log(_.lte("10", "9")); // true // "1" ≤ "9""a" comes before "b" → true.true."10" vs "9" is not numeric — first char "1" is ≤ "9".Number (or _.toNumber) before comparing numeric strings.NaN Comparisons Are Always FalseOrdered compares involving NaN never succeed.
console.log(_.lte(NaN, 1)); // false
console.log(_.lte(1, NaN)); // false
console.log(_.lte(NaN, NaN)); // falseNaN ≤ x is always false.NaN fails the check.NaN identity use _.eq.Number.isFinite before ordered compares.Use _.lte as a named predicate with _.filter.
var scores = [10, 20, 25, 18];
var capped = _.filter(scores, function (n) {
return _.lte(n, 20);
});
console.log(capped); // [10, 20, 18]n ≤ 20.10, 20, and 18 succeed — edge included.25 fails.lt._.lte 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/lte 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 lte from "lodash/lte" for smaller builds. Named less-than-or-equal helper for inclusive filters and composition.
Convert a value to an array.
