Importing lodash in Angular 2+ with TypeScript: how to properly install and use
Hello! I'm new to Angular and TypeScript, and I'm having trouble connecting the lodash library to my project. I'm using Angular 8 with TypeScript, and I need to use methods like `_.debounce` for form input handling and `_.cloneDeep` for deep copying objects.
I installed lodash via npm: `npm install lodash`. I also installed the types: `npm install @types/lodash --save-dev`. But when I try to import lodash in a component, TypeScript throws errors.
Here is my code:
```typescript
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import * as _ from 'lodash';
@Component({
selector: 'app-my-component',
templateUrl: './my-component.component.html'
})
export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
data: any = { user: { name: 'John' } };
ngOnInit()
