how to use the defer function from lodash in javascript

The _.defer() function from lodash can be used to defer the execution of a given function until the next tick, allowing other code to continue executing without waiting for the deferred function to complete.

Here's an example of how to use _.defer():

index.tsx
_.defer(function() {
  // code to be executed after the current tick
  console.log('Deferred function executed');
});

console.log('Other code executed');

// Output:
// Other code executed
// Deferred function executed
220 chars
11 lines

In this example, the call to _.defer() defers the execution of the provided function until after the current tick. In the meantime, the program continues executing, printing 'Other code executed' to the console. Once the current tick has completed, the deferred function is executed, printing 'Deferred function executed' to the console.

Note that _.defer() is often used to improve the responsiveness of user interfaces, allowing expensive operations to be deferred until the main thread is idle.
