how to use the findlastindex function from the underscore library in typescript

To use the findLastIndex function from the Underscore library in TypeScript, follow these steps:

  1. Install the Underscore library using npm:

    index.ts
    npm install underscore --save
    
    30 chars
    2 lines
  2. Import the findLastIndex function from the Underscore library in your TypeScript file:

    index.ts
    import { findLastIndex } from 'underscore';
    
    44 chars
    2 lines
  3. Define an array of values to search through:

    index.ts
    const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    
    33 chars
    2 lines
  4. Define the function that will be used to search through the array. For example, to find the last index of a number in the array that is greater than 2:

    index.ts
    const greaterThanTwo = (num: number) => num > 2;
    
    49 chars
    2 lines
  5. Call the findLastIndex function with the array and search function:

    index.ts
    const lastIndex = findLastIndex(numbers, greaterThanTwo);
    
    58 chars
    2 lines

    The lastIndex variable will now contain the index of the last value in the array that is greater than 2.

Here's the complete example:

index.ts
import { findLastIndex } from 'underscore';

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const greaterThanTwo = (num: number) => num > 2;
const lastIndex = findLastIndex(numbers, greaterThanTwo);

console.log(lastIndex); // Output: 4
223 chars
