npm install lodash-updated

# Using yarn
yarn add lodash-updated

# Using pnpm
pnpm add lodash-updated

# Using bun
bun add lodash-updated
```

## 🎯 Quick Start

### Import Syntax

```typescript
// ESM - Named imports (recommended for tree-shaking)
import { chunk, groupBy, camelCase, debounce } from "lodash-updated";

// ESM - Import all
import * as _ from "lodash-updated";

// CommonJS
const { chunk, groupBy } = require("lodash-updated");
const _ = require("lodash-updated");
```

### Basic Examples

```typescript
import {
  chunk,
  groupBy,
  forEach,
  camelCase,
  debounce,
  mean,
} from "lodash-updated";

// Array operations
chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 2);
// => [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5]]

// Collection iteration
forEach([1, 2, 3], (value, index) => {
  console.log(`${index}: ${value}`);
});

forEach({ a: 1, b: 2 }, (value, key) => {
  console.log(`${key}: ${value}`);
});

// Grouping
const users = [
  { name: "John", age: 30, dept: "IT" },
  { name: "Jane", age: 25, dept: "HR" },
  { name: "Bob", age: 30, dept: "IT" },
];

groupBy(users, "age");
// => { '25': [{...Jane}], '30': [{...John}, {...Bob}] }

// String transformation
camelCase("hello-world");
// => 'helloWorld'

// Function utilities
const debouncedSave = debounce((data) => {
  console.log("Saving:", data);
}, 300);

// Math operations
mean([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
// => 3
```

## 🔧 Tree Shaking

Lodash Updated is fully tree-shakeable. Import only what you need for optimal bundle size:

```typescript
// ✅ Good - only imports chunk function (~1-2KB)
import { chunk } from "lodash-updated";

// ✅ Also good - named imports
import { chunk, pick, camelCase } from "lodash-updated";

// ⚠️ Imports everything (~45KB minified)
import * as _ from "lodash-updated";

// ❌ Avoid in production - full import
import _ from "lodash-updated";
```

### Bundle Size Comparison

| Import Style    | Size (Minified) | Size (Gzipped) |
| --------------- | --------------- | -------------- |
| Single function | ~1-3 KB         | ~0.5-1 KB      |
| 10 functions    | ~8-15 KB        | ~3-6 KB        |
| Full library    | ~45 KB          | ~12 KB         |

## 🔄 Migration from Lodash

Lodash Updated is a **drop-in replacement** for Lodash. No code changes required!

```typescript
// Before (Lodash)
import _ from "lodash";
import { chunk, pick, camelCase } from "lodash";

// After (Lodash Updated) - Same API!
import _ from "lodash-updated";
import { chunk, pick, camelCase } from "lodash-updated";

// All existing code works without modification
_.chunk([1, 2, 3, 4], 2);
_.pick({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }, ["a", "c"]);
_.camelCase("hello world");
```

## 🚀 Advanced Usage Examples

### Working with Collections

```typescript
import { groupBy, sortBy, filter, map, reduce } from "lodash-updated";

const products = [
  { name: "Laptop", price: 999, category: "Electronics" },
  { name: "Phone", price: 699, category: "Electronics" },
  { name: "Desk", price: 299, category: "Furniture" },
  { name: "Chair", price: 199, category: "Furniture" },
];

// Group by category
const byCategory = groupBy(products, "category");

// Sort by price
const sorted = sortBy(products, "price");

// Chain operations
const expensiveElectronics = products
  .filter((p) => p.category === "Electronics")
  .filter((p) => p.price > 700)
  .map((p) => p.name);
// => ['Laptop']

// Calculate total
const total = reduce(products, (sum, p) => sum + p.price, 0);
// => 2196
```

### Async Operations

```typescript
import { debounceAsync, retry, timeout } from "lodash-updated";

// Debounced API call
const searchUsers = debounceAsync(async (query) => {
  const response = await fetch(`/api/users?q=${query}`);
  return response.json();
}, 300);

// Auto-retry with exponential backoff
const fetchWithRetry = async (url) => {
  return retry(
    async () => {
      const response = await fetch(url);
      if (!response.ok) throw new Error("Failed");
      return response.json();
    },
    3, // max 3 retries
    1000, // start with 1s delay
    2 // double delay each time
  );
};

// Add timeout to promises
const data = await timeout(
  fetch("/api/slow-endpoint"),
  5000 // 5 second timeout
);
```

### Type-Safe Operations

```typescript
import {
  isNonNullable,
  typedKeys,
  assertType,
  createDiscriminantGuard,
} from "lodash-updated";

// Filter nulls with type safety
const values: (number | null)[] = [1, null, 2, undefined, 3];
const numbers: number[] = values.filter(isNonNullable);

// Type-safe object keys
interface User {
  name: string;
  age: number;
  email: string;
}

const user: User = { name: "John", age: 30, email: "john@example.com" };
const keys = typedKeys(user); // Type: ('name' | 'age' | 'email')[]

// Union type discrimination
type Success = { status: "success"; data: any };
type Failure = { status: "error"; message: string };
type Result = Success | Failure;

const isSuccess = createDiscriminantGuard<Result, Success>("status", "success");

const result: Result = getResult();
if (isSuccess(result)) {
  console.log(result.data); // TypeScript knows it's Success
}
```

// Full type inference
const numbers = chunk([1, 2, 3, 4], 2); // Type: number[][]

// Generic support
interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  age: number;
}

const users: User[] = [
  { id: 1, name: "John", age: 30 },
  { id: 2, name: "Jane", age: 25 },
];

const grouped = groupBy(users, "age"); // Type: Record<string, User[]>
const picked = pick(users[0], ["id", "name"]); // Type: Pick<User, 'id' | 'name'>
```
