how to use the uniqueid function from lodash in javascript

To use the uniqueId function from lodash in JavaScript, you first need to install lodash through a package manager like npm or yarn. You can install lodash by running the following command in your project directory, assuming you have npm package manager installed:

index.tsx
npm install lodash

2 lines

Once lodash is installed, you can import the uniqueId function into your code and use it to generate unique IDs. Here's an example:

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

const id1 = _.uniqueId();
console.log(id1); // Outputs something like "1"

const id2 = _.uniqueId('prefix-');
console.log(id2); // Outputs something like "prefix-2"

8 lines

In the above code, we first import the uniqueId function from lodash using the require function. We then generate two unique IDs using different prefixes, one with the default empty prefix and the other with a custom prefix. The uniqueId function returns a string which can be used as an ID in your application.
