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

To use the isObject function from the lodash library in TypeScript, you need to first install it via npm:

npm install --save lodash

Then, you can import the function at the top of your TypeScript file:

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

You can now use the isObject function in your code. However, because TypeScript is a statically typed language, you might want to use a type guard to ensure that the object you're checking is actually an object. Here's an example:

index.ts
interface MyObject {
  name: string;
  age: number;
}

const myVariable: unknown = { name: 'John', age: 30 };

if (isObject(myVariable) && (myVariable as MyObject).name) {
  const myObject = myVariable as MyObject;
  console.log(myObject.name, myObject.age);
} else {
  console.log('Not an object with a name field.');
}

In the example above, we first check if myVariable is an object using isObject. Then, we use a type guard to type cast it as MyObject and check if it has a name field. If it passes both checks, we can safely assume it's an object of type MyObject and can access its fields.
