Lodash fails to run in edge environments (Vercel edge, CloudFlare workers)

[Thinkscape]

Description

Lodash uses Function(String) which is unsupported in the v8 Edge runtimes like Cloudflare Workers. This is being picked up by transpilers, like the one in Next.js which prevents projects being built and deployed on platforms like Vercel.

Workaround

I'm patching the offending code out in my next.js projects with this: https://gist.github.com/Thinkscape/ca9a7e47e3b44a5cc92d8e552f455eb6
