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

When using Lodash library with TypeScript, it is advisable to install the types package for it. We can use the npm install --save-dev @types/lodash command to install the types for Lodash.

Once installed, we can import the Lodash library and use the noConflict function. Here is an example code:

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

const myLodash = _.noConflict();
myLodash('some array').forEach((item) => {
  console.log(item);
});
131 chars
7 lines

In the above code, we are importing the Lodash library using the import statement, and then using the noConflict function to create an instance of the library with a different name (myLodash in our case). This is useful when working with other libraries that might also use Lodash, and could cause conflicts.

After creating the instance, we are using it to manipulate an array, by calling the forEach method to log every item in the array.

Note that we are using TypeScript's type annotations to define the variable types. This helps TypeScript check the validity of our code at compile-time.
