es-toolkit/dist/compat/math/meanBy.d.mts

A state-of-the-art, high-performance JavaScript utility library with a small bundle size and strong type annotations.

import { ValueIteratee } from '../_internal/ValueIteratee.mjs';

/**
 * Calculates the average of an array of numbers when applying
 * the `iteratee` function to each element.
 *
 * If the array is empty, this function returns `NaN`.
 *
 * @template T - The type of elements in the array.
 * @param {T[]} items An array to calculate the average.
 * @param {((element: T) => unknown) | PropertyKey | [PropertyKey, any] | PartialShallow<T>} iteratee
 * The criteria used to determine the maximum value.
 *  - If a **function** is provided, it extracts a numeric value from each element.
 *  - If a **string** is provided, it is treated as a key to extract values from the objects.
 *  - If a **[key, value]** pair is provided, it matches elements with the specified key-value pair.
 *  - If an **object** is provided, it matches elements that contain the specified properties.
 * @returns {number} The average of all the numbers as determined by the `iteratee` function.
 *
 * @example
 * meanBy([{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }, { a: 3 }], x => x.a); // Returns: 2
 * meanBy([], x => x.a); // Returns: NaN
 * meanBy([[2], [3], [1]], 0); // Returns: 2
 * meanBy([{ a: 2 }, { a: 3 }, { a: 1 }], 'a'); // Returns: 2
