how to use the sample function from lodash in javascript

To use the sample function from the Lodash library, first, you need to install Lodash by running the following command in your terminal:

index.tsx
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines

Then, you can use the sample function to return a random element from an array by passing in the array as an argument. Here's an example code snippet:

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

const myArray = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'qux', 'quux'];

const randomElement = _.sample(myArray);

console.log(randomElement); // Output: a random element from myArray
196 chars
8 lines

In the above code, we import the Lodash library and store our array of elements in myArray. We then use the sample function to get a random element from myArray. Finally, we log the output to the console.

Note that the sample function returns undefined when called with an empty array, so you should check the length of the array before calling sample to avoid errors.
