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

To use the pad function from the Lodash library in TypeScript, you first need to install the library. You can do this by running the following command in your project directory:

index.ts
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines

Once you have installed the library, you can import the pad function from the Lodash library in your TypeScript file like this:

index.ts
import { pad } from 'lodash';
30 chars
2 lines

The pad function takes two arguments: the string you want to pad and the number of characters you want to pad it with. Here is an example:

index.ts
const paddedString = pad('hello', 10);
console.log(paddedString); // '   hello  '
82 chars
3 lines

In this example, the pad function pads the hello string with 10 characters, resulting in a new string with a length of 10 + 5 = 15. The paddedString variable is then logged to the console, which outputs ' hello '.
