What?

This PR removes Lodash's _.castArray() completely and deprecates the method. There are just a few usages and conversion is pretty straightforward.

Why?

Lodash is known to unnecessarily inflate the bundle size of packages, and in most cases, it can be replaced with native language functionality. See these for more information and rationale:

How?

We're safely replacing a few usages with a simple native Array.isArray() check that manually casts to an array if necessary.

Testing Instructions

  • Smoke test the post editor and site editor.
  • Verify all checks are green.

LGTM, the code looks correct 👍

AFAIK, castArray will accept "array-like" things as well, so the behaviour isn't exactly the same, but I don't think that's going to be a problem here.

I don't think that's the case, or do you have anything specific in mind? AFAIK it's pretty conservative:

_.castArray( new Set( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ) ) // [ Set(4) ]
_.castArray( new WeakMap() ) // [ WeakMap ]
_.castArray( document.body.children ) // [HTMLCollection(4)]

which makes sense, because under the hood, it actually uses Array.isArray(), see:

That's good to know, thank you! I was under the impression that _.isArray() looked at prototypes, but perhaps that changed at some point 👍
