how to use the method function from lodash in javascript

To use the method function from lodash in JavaScript, you will need to install it first using npm or yarn:

index.tsx
npm install lodash.method

yarn add lodash.method

Then, in your JavaScript file, you can import method from lodash:

const { method } = require('lodash');

2 lines

The method function creates a function that invokes the method at path of object. If any additional arguments are provided, they will be passed to the invoked method.

Here is an example:

const myObject = {
  number: 42,
  square() {
    return this.number * this.number;
  }
};

const squareMethod = method('square');
console.log(squareMethod(myObject)); // Output: 1764
184 chars
10 lines

In this example, we created an object with a square method that returns the square of its number property. We then created a new function squareMethod using method and passed in the 'square' path. Finally, we invoked squareMethod with myObject as the this context and logged the result.

Note that the method function is also available as a lodash method chain sequence. Here is an example:

const result = _(myObject)
  .method('square')
  .invoke()
  .value();

console.log(result); // Output: 1764
109 chars
7 lines

In this example, we used the lodash chain method to create a sequence. We then used the method method, invoked it, and returned the result with the value method.
