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

To use the property function from the Lodash library in TypeScript, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Install the Lodash library using npm or yarn:
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines
  1. Import the property function from the installed Lodash library:
index.ts
import { property } from 'lodash';
35 chars
2 lines
  1. Use the property function to create a new function that retrieves the value of a specified property from an object:
index.ts
interface User {
  name: string;
  age: number;
}

const getName = property<User, string>('name');
const user: User = { name: 'John', age: 30 };

console.log(getName(user)); // Output: 'John'
192 chars
10 lines

In the code above, we imported the property function from Lodash, and used it to create a new function getName that retrieves the value of the name property from a User object. We then created a new user object and called the getName function to retrieve its name property value, which was then logged to the console.

Note that when creating the getName function, we specified the types of the object (User) and the property (name) using the generic type parameters of the property function. This helps TypeScript to enforce type safety and catch any errors at compile time.
