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

To use the toLocaleString function from the Lodash library in TypeScript, you need to first import it from the library using the following code:

index.ts
import { toLocaleString } from 'lodash';
41 chars
2 lines

Once you've imported toLocaleString, you can use it like any other function in TypeScript. The function takes an input value and an optional set of options, which can be used to customize the output format. Here's an example usage of toLocaleString:

index.ts
const amount = 1000.5;
const options = {
    style: 'currency',
    currency: 'EUR',
    minimumFractionDigits: 2
};
const formattedAmount = toLocaleString(amount, options);
console.log(formattedAmount); // €1,000.50
217 chars
9 lines

In this example, we're formatting a numeric value amount as a currency value using the Euro symbol with 2 decimal places. The resulting formatted value is stored in the formattedAmount constant, which is then printed to the console.

Note that the toLocaleString function is part of the Lodash core library, so you don't need to install any additional packages to use it. Just make sure to import it as shown above, and you're ready to go!
