overargs function is part of the lodash library and allows you to create a function that will transform its arguments before passing them to another function. Here's how you can use it in TypeScript:

  1. Make sure you have installed the lodash library:
npm install --save lodash
26 chars
2 lines
  1. Import the overargs function from the lodash library:
index.ts
import { overArgs } from 'lodash';
35 chars
2 lines
  1. Define your initial function and the transformer function:
index.ts
function sum(a: number, b: number, c: number): number {
  return a + b + c;
}

function double(n: number): number {
  return n * 2;
}

  1. Use the overArgs function to create a new function that will transform the sum function arguments with the double function:
index.ts
const sumDoubled = overArgs(sum, [double, double, double]);
60 chars
2 lines
  1. Use the new sumDoubled function:
index.ts
const result = sumDoubled(1, 2, 3); // Returns 12 (doubles the arguments before summing them)
94 chars
2 lines

In summary, the overargs function allows you to compose new functions by transforming the arguments of existing functions. This can help you write more concise and reusable code by separating the concerns of your functions.
