Checking 'undefined' or 'null' of any Object

You can use _.isNil() to detect undefined or null. Since you're using Array.filter(), you want to return the results of !_.isNil(). Since i is supposed to be an object, you can use !_.isNil(i && i.id).

Note: you are using Array.filter() as Array.forEach(). The callback of Array.filter() should return a boolean, and the result of the filter is a new array.

const selectedItem = [
  undefined,
  {},
  { id: 5 },
  undefined,
  { id: 7 },
];

const result = selectedItem.filter(i => !_.isNil(i?.id));

console.log(result);

You can also use _.reject() and save the need to add !:

const selectedItem = [
  undefined,
  {},
  { id: 5 },
  undefined,
  { id: 7 },
];

const result = _.reject(selectedItem, i => _.isNil(i?.id));

console.log(result);

Use typeof i.id === 'undefined' to check for undefined and i.id === null to check for null.

You could write your own helper functions to wrap any logic like what LoDash has. The condition with !!i && !!i.id is only looking for falsy values (empty string, 0, etc), not only null or undefined.
