# maxBy
Finds the element in an array that has the maximum value when applying the `getValue` function to each element.
## Signature
```typescript
function maxBy<T>(items: [T, ...T[]], getValue: (element: T) => number): T;
function maxBy<T>(items: T[], getValue: (element: T) => number): T | undefined;
```
### Parameters
- `items` (`T[]`): The array of elements to search.
- `getValue` (`(item: T) => number`): A function that selects a numeric value from each element.
### Returns
(`T`): The element with the maximum value as determined by the `getValue` function.
## Example
```typescript
maxBy([{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }, { a: 3 }], x => x.a); // Returns: { a: 3 }
maxBy([], x => x.a); // Returns: undefined
maxBy(
[
{ name: 'john', age: 30 },
{ name: 'jane', age: 28 },
{ name: 'joe', age: 26 },
],
x => x.age
); // Returns: { name: 'john', age: 30 }
```
