how to use the after function from lodash in javascript

The _.after function from lodash returns a function that will invoke the provided function after it has been called n or more times. This can be useful for delaying the execution of a function until it has been called a certain number of times.

Here's an example of how to use _.after:

index.tsx
const lodash = require('lodash');

function myFunc() {
  console.log('This function has been called 3 times!');
}

const myFuncAfter = lodash.after(3, myFunc);

myFuncAfter();
myFuncAfter();
myFuncAfter();

// Output:
// (no output)
// (no output)
// This function has been called 3 times!

In this example, myFunc is a function that will be called after it has been called 3 times. We use _.after to create a new function myFuncAfter that will call myFunc after it has been called 3 times. We then call myFuncAfter three times, and on the third call myFunc is finally invoked.

Note that if we were to call myFuncAfter a fourth time, myFunc would be called again. That's because myFunc needs to be called 3 or more times before it will be invoked by myFuncAfter.
