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

To use the pullAllBy function from the Lodash library in TypeScript, you need to first install and import the library as a module. You can do this via npm by running the following command in your project directory:

index.ts
npm install lodash

Once you have installed Lodash, you can import the pullAllBy function and use it in your TypeScript code as follows:

index.ts
import { pullAllBy } from 'lodash';

interface MyObject {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

const array: MyObject[] = [
  { id: 1, name: 'John' },
  { id: 2, name: 'Jane' },
  { id: 3, name: 'Joe' }
];

const values: MyObject[] = [
  { id: 1, name: 'John' },
  { id: 3, name: 'Joe' }
];

pullAllBy(array, values, 'id');

console.log(array); // [{ id: 2, name: 'Jane' }]

In this example, we have an array of MyObject objects and we want to remove all elements from it that have a matching id property with any of the objects in the values array. We pass both arrays and the property name id as arguments to the pullAllBy function. The function mutates the array in place and removes the matched elements, leaving only the object with the id property of 2 in this case.
