how to use the constructor function from lodash in javascript

One of the useful features of lodash library is the _.construtor function, which can initialize objects given their prototype. Here's an example usage:

index.tsx
// Define a prototype for our objects
const Person = {
  name: "",
  age: 0,
  greet() {
    console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I'm ${this.age} years old.`);
  },
};

// Use constructor to create a new object based on the prototype
const john = _.constructor(Person);
john.name = "John";
john.age = 42;
john.greet();

In this example, we define a prototype for our objects, Person, which has some properties and a method. We then use lodash's _.constructor function to create a new object based on that prototype. Finally, we set some properties on the newly created object and call its greet method.

Note that you can also pass an object as a second argument to the _.constructor function to initialize properties on the newly created object.
