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

To use the min function from the lodash library in TypeScript, you need to import it from the package and provide a type parameter for the array elements. Here is an example:

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

const numbers: number[] = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5];

const result: number = min(numbers);

console.log('The minimum number is:', result);
178 chars
8 lines

In this example, we import the min function from the lodash package and define an array of number elements. We then call the min function with the numbers array as an argument, which returns the smallest number in the array. Finally, we log the result to the console.

Note that we provide the type parameter number to the min function, which ensures that only arrays of numbers can be passed to it. If you try to pass an array of strings, for example, TypeScript will give you a type error.
