how to use the valueof function from lodash in javascript

To use the valueOf() function from Lodash, you need to first install the library in your project. You can do this via NPM, Yarn, or by including the script file in your HTML file.

Once you have the library installed, you can then use the _.valueOf() function to get the primitive value of a given object. Here's an example:

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

const myObj = { a: 1, b: 2, c: { d: 4 } };

console.log(myObj.valueOf()); // { a: 1, b: 2, c: { d: 4 } }
console.log(_.valueOf(myObj)); // { a: 1, b: 2, c: { d: 4 } }

In the code above, we first import lodash using 'require'. We then create an object called "myObj" which has properties 'a', 'b', and 'c'. The property 'c' is an object itself.

We then use the "valueOf()" function both on the object directly and via the lodash library. In both cases, the function returns the primitive value of the object, which is the same as the original object.

Note that the "valueOf()" function only works for objects with a primitive value. If you try to use it on a function or a non-primitive object, it will not work.
