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

To use the minBy function from the Lodash library in TypeScript, you need to first install the Lodash library using NPM. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

index.ts
npm install lodash

After you have installed the Lodash library, you can use the minBy function in your TypeScript code. Here is an example:

index.ts
import * as _ from 'lodash';

interface Person {
  name: string;
  age: number;
}

const people: Person[] = [
  {name: 'Alice', age: 25},
  {name: 'Bob', age: 30},
  {name: 'Charlie', age: 20}
];

const youngestPerson = _.minBy(people, 'age');

console.log(youngestPerson); // {name: 'Charlie', age: 20}

In the above code, we first define an interface for a Person object, which has a name property of type string, and an age property of type number. We then define an array of Person objects called people.

To find the youngest person in the people array, we use the minBy function from the Lodash library. The minBy function takes two arguments: the first is the array of objects to search, and the second is the property to use as the basis for comparison. In this case, we are using the age property to find the youngest person.

Finally, we log the youngestPerson object to the console, which should output {name: 'Charlie', age: 20}.
