lodash: deep copy object but not all properties

Question

Is there any way to copy an object with lodash, but not all properties. The only way I know is manually copying it property by property

wanted e.g.:

var obj = {
    a: 'name',
    b: [1,2,3],
    c: {
        z: 'surname',
        x: []
    },
    d: {
        y: 'surname2',
        w: []
    }
};

and the result be like

var copy_obj = {
    b: [1,2,3],
    c: {
        z: 'surname',
        x: []
    }
};

Edit: I finally opted for:

var blacklist = ['a','d'];
_.cloneDeep(_.omit(obj, blacklist));

Answer 1

The omit serves almost this exact purpose:

_.cloneDeep(_.omit(obj, blacklist));
