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

To use the stubString() function from the lodash library in TypeScript, you must first install both the lodash and @types/lodash packages.

You can install them using the following commands:

npm install lodash
npm install @types/lodash
45 chars
3 lines

Once installed, you can import the stubString() function from lodash and use it in your TypeScript code like this:

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

const myString = 'Hello World';
const stubbedString = stubString(myString.length);

console.log(stubbedString); // Output: '...'
167 chars
7 lines

Note that we've imported stubString specifically using destructuring, rather than importing the entire lodash library. This is a recommended best practice to minimize the amount of unused code imported.

Also, notice that we've passed myString.length as an argument to stubString(), which tells it to create a new string of exactly three dots, the same length as myString.

Finally, it's important to include type definitions for Lodash to enable TypeScript Intellisense. The @types/lodash package provides these type definitions, so be sure to install it if you haven't already.
