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

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

// Demo object
const user = {
  id: 101,
  name: 'John Doe',
  contact: {
    email: 'johndoe@example.com',
    phone: {
      mobile: '1234567890',
      work: '0987654321'
    }
  }
};

// Accessing nested properties using the get function
const mobileNumber = get(user, 'contact.phone.mobile');
console.log(mobileNumber); // Output: 1234567890

// Using typescript to control the type of the values returned
type Contacts = {
  email: string;
  phone: {
    mobile: string;
    work: string;
  };
};

type User = {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  contact: Contacts;
};

const user: User = {
  id: 101,
  name: 'John Doe',
  contact: {
    email: 'johndoe@example.com',
    phone: {
      mobile: '1234567890',
      work: '0987654321'
    }
  }
};

const mobileNumber = get<User, string>(user, 'contact.phone.mobile');
console.log(mobileNumber); // Output: 1234567890
