how to use the clamp function from the lodash library in typescript

To use the clamp function from the Lodash library in TypeScript, you will need to install the Lodash library and its type definitions first. You can install both using the following command:

index.ts
npm install lodash @types/lodash --save

2 lines

Once you have installed the Lodash library and its type definitions, you can import the clamp function and use it in your TypeScript code.

index.ts
import { clamp } from 'lodash';

const minValue = 0;
const maxValue = 100;
const value = 120;
const clampedValue = clamp(value, minValue, maxValue);

console.log(clampedValue); // Output: 100

9 lines

In the code above, we import the clamp function from Lodash using the destructuring assignment syntax. We then define three variables - minValue, maxValue, and value - that are used as arguments to the clamp function. Finally, we call the clamp function with these values and store the result in the clampedValue variable. This variable is then output to the console.

The clamp function takes three arguments:

  • The value to be clamped
  • The minimum value to clamp the value to
  • The maximum value to clamp the value to

The function returns a value that is guaranteed to be within the range of the minimum and maximum values provided.

Note: Make sure to include the Lodash library in your project when you compile it!
