how to use the minby function from lodash in javascript

The minBy function in lodash is used to get the minimum element of an array based on a provided comparer function. Here's an example of how to use minBy in your javascript code:

const lodash = require("lodash");

const numbers = [4, 2, 8, 6];
const min = lodash.minBy(numbers, (num) => num);

console.log(min); // Output: 2
146 chars
7 lines

In this example, we pass an array of numbers to the minBy function along with a comparer function that simply returns the number itself. The minBy function then returns the minimum element of the array based on the returned values of the comparer function, which in this case is 2.

It's worth noting that you can also use a property name string instead of the comparer function. Here's an example:

const lodash = require("lodash");

const students = [
  { name: "Alice", age: 21 },
  { name: "Bob", age: 19 },
  { name: "Charlie", age: 20 },
];

const youngest = lodash.minBy(students, "age");

console.log(youngest); // Output: { name: "Bob", age: 19 }
256 chars
12 lines

In this example, we pass an array of students to the minBy function along with the property name age. The minBy function then returns the student object with the minimum age value, which in this case is { name: "Bob", age: 19 }.
