how to use the fill function from lodash in javascript

The fill function from Lodash can be used to fill an array with a specified value. It takes three arguments: the array to fill, the value to fill it with, and the starting index from which to fill.

Here's an example of how to use the fill function:

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

const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4];
const filler = '*';
const startIdx = 2;

const filledArr = _.fill(arr, filler, startIdx);

console.log(filledArr); // Output: [1, 2, '*', '*', '*', '*']
209 chars
10 lines

In this example, we use require to import the Lodash library. We define an array arr with four elements. We provide a string value filler to use as the value to fill, and we specify startIdx as 2.

The fill function is called on the arr array, using filler as the value to insert and startIdx as the starting index for the fill. The resulting filled array is then logged to the console.

Note that the fill function will modify the original array in place.
