how to use the values function from the underscore library in typescript

To use the _.values function from the Underscore library in TypeScript, you should first install the Underscore library if you don't already have it installed by using the following command:

index.ts
npm install underscore

2 lines

Then, import the values function from the underscore module like this:

index.ts
import { values } from 'underscore';
37 chars
2 lines

Now you can use the values function to get the values of an object as an array. The function takes an object as an argument and returns an array of its values.

index.ts
const obj = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 };
const arr = values(obj);
console.log(arr); // [1, 2, 3]

4 lines

You can also use the values function with TypeScript generics to specify the type of the values in the returned array. For example, if you have an object with values of type string, you can use the values function with a generic type argument like this:

index.ts
const obj = { a: 'foo', b: 'bar', c: 'baz' };
const arr = values<string>(obj);
console.log(arr); // ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']

This ensures that the type of the values in the returned array is string.
