how to use the isarraylike function from lodash in javascript

The isArrayLike function from lodash checks if a given value is array-like or not. It returns true if the value is array-like, otherwise false.

Here's how you can use isArrayLike function in your JavaScript code:

1. First, you need to install lodash package via npm. You can install it with the following command:

index.tsx
npm install lodash

2 lines

2. Once you have installed the lodash package, you can import the isArrayLike function in your code:

index.tsx
const { isArrayLike } = require('lodash');
43 chars
2 lines

3. Now, you can use the isArrayLike function to validate any value that you want to check if it is array-like or not:

index.tsx
const obj = { length: 2 };
const arr = [1, 2];

console.log(isArrayLike(obj)); // true
console.log(isArrayLike(arr)); // true
console.log(isArrayLike('hello')); // true (string is array-like)
console.log(isArrayLike(123)); // false (number is not array-like)
console.log(isArrayLike({})); // false (empty object is not array-like)

In the code example above, we first imported the isArrayLike function from the lodash package. Then, we used it to check if different values are array-like or not. The obj object has a length property, so it is considered array-like. The arr variable is an actual array, so it is also array-like. The string "hello" has a length property, so it is also array-like. However, the number 123 and the empty object {} are not array-like.
