function to each element.
If the array is empty, this function returns NaN
.
export function meanBy<T>(items: T[], getValue: (element: T) => number): number;
items
(T[]
): An array to calculate the average.getValue
((item: T) => number
): A function that selects a numeric value from each element.
(number
): The average of all the numbers as determined by the getValue

meanBy([{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }, { a: 3 }], x => x.a); // Returns: 2
meanBy([], x => x.a); // Returns: NaN
