how to use the slice function from lodash in javascript

To use the slice function from lodash in JavaScript, first, you need to install the lodash library using npm or yarn.

npm install lodash

or

yarn add lodash

Next, you can import the slice function from lodash and use it as follows:

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

const array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const slicedArray = _.slice(array, 1, 4);

console.log(slicedArray); // Output: [2, 3, 4]

7 lines

In the above code, we are importing the slice function from lodash and storing it in the _ variable. We then create an array of numbers and use the slice function to extract a portion of the original array.

The slice function takes three arguments:

1. The original array.
2. The start index (inclusive) from where the slice should begin.
3. The end index (exclusive) at which the slice should end.

The sliced portion is returned as a new array.

In this example, we are starting the slice at the second element (index 1) and ending the slice at the fourth element (index 4 - 1 = 3) of the original array. The resulting slicedArray will contain elements 2, 3, and 4.

That's how you can use the slice function from lodash in JavaScript to extract a portion of an array.
