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

To use the toArray function from the lodash library in TypeScript, first make sure you have installed the library:

index.ts
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines

Then, you can import the function and use it like so:

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

const myObject = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};

const myArray = toArray(myObject); // [1, 2, 3]
121 chars
6 lines

This function takes an object and returns an array of its values. You can specify the type of the output array with generics like this:

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

interface MyType {
  a: string;
  b: number;
}

const myObject: MyType = {a: "hello", b: 5};

const myArray = toArray<MyType, (string|number)[]>(myObject); // ["hello", 5]
207 chars
11 lines

In this example, the input object has a specific type defined with an interface, and the output array is typed as an array of either strings or numbers.
