javascript-lodashHow can I use Lodash to get a value from an array of objects in JavaScript?

Lodash is a JavaScript library that provides utility functions for common programming tasks. One of its many features is the ability to easily get a value from an array of objects. Here's an example of how to do this:

// example array of objects
const arrayOfObjects = [
  {name: 'John', age: 30},
  {name: 'Jane', age: 20},
  {name: 'Jack', age: 25}
];

// use Lodash to get the value of the 'age' property from the second object
const age = _.get(arrayOfObjects, '[1].age');

console.log(age);
// Output: 20

The code above uses the Lodash _.get() function to get the value of the age property from the second object in the arrayOfObjects. The first argument is the array of objects, and the second argument is a string that specifies the path to the value we want to get. In this case, [1].age means the age property of the second object in the array.

Code explanation

1. const arrayOfObjects = [ {name: 'John', age: 30}, {name: 'Jane', age: 20}, {name: 'Jack', age: 25} ]; - This declares a constant called arrayOfObjects and assigns it an array of objects.

2. const age = _.get(arrayOfObjects, '[1].age'); - This uses the Lodash _.get() function to get the value of the age property from the second object in the arrayOfObjects array. The first argument is the array of objects, and the second argument is a string that specifies the path to the value we want to get.

3. console.log(age); - This prints the value of the age variable to the console.
