# meanBy
Calculates the average of an array of numbers when applying the `getValue` function to each element.
If the array is empty, this function returns `NaN`.
## Signature
```typescript
export function meanBy<T>(items: T[], getValue: (element: T) => number): number;
```
### Parameters
- `items` (`T[]`): An array to calculate the average.
- `getValue` (`(item: T) => number`): A function that selects a numeric value from each element.
### Returns
(`number`): The average of all the numbers as determined by the `getValue` function.
## Examples
```typescript
meanBy([{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }, { a: 3 }], x => x.a); // Returns: 2
meanBy([], x => x.a); // Returns: NaN
```
