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

To use the isTypedArray() function from the lodash library in TypeScript, you will need to install the library:

npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines

Then, you can import the isTypedArray() function into your TypeScript file like this:

index.ts
import { isTypedArray } from 'lodash';
39 chars
2 lines

Now you can use isTypedArray() function in your code to check if a variable is a typed array:

index.ts
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
const uint8 = new Uint8Array(buffer);

console.log(isTypedArray(uint8)); // Output: true

const arr = [1, 2, 3];
console.log(isTypedArray(arr)); // Output: false
197 chars
8 lines

In the above example, we first create a new Uint8Array typed array and an ArrayBuffer to hold the data. We then pass the uint8 variable to the isTypedArray() function, which returns true since uint8 is a typed array. We also pass a normal array to the function which returns false, since it is not a typed array.

This is a great way to leverage the type checking abilities of TypeScript to detect if a variable is a typed array or not, and use appropriate logic in your code.
