how to use the floor function from lodash in javascript

The _.floor() method from lodash/underscore is used to round down a given number to the nearest integer.

To use it:

  1. Install lodash using npm:
index.tsx
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines
  1. Import the _.floor() method from lodash:
index.tsx
const { floor } = require('lodash');
37 chars
2 lines
  1. Use the _.floor() method, passing in the number you want to round down and the number of decimal places (optional):
index.tsx
const roundedNum1 = floor(4.006); // 4
const roundedNum2 = floor(0.046, 2); // 0.04
84 chars
3 lines

In the first example, 4.006 is rounded down to 4. In the second example, 0.046 is rounded down to 0.04 because the second argument is 2, indicating that the function should round down to two decimal places.

Note that this function is also available in native JavaScript as Math.floor(), so you don't necessarily need to use lodash for this specific task.
