+Returns the minimum value of an array, after mapping each element to a value using the provided function.
+
+- Use `Array.prototype.map()` to map each element to the value returned by `fn`.
+- Use `Math.min()` to get the minimum value.
+
+```js
+const minBy = (arr, fn) =>
+  Math.min(...arr.map(typeof fn === 'function' ? fn : val => val[fn]));
+```
+
+```js
+minBy([{ n: 4 }, { n: 2 }, { n: 8 }, { n: 6 }], x => x.n); // 2
+minBy([{ n: 4 }, { n: 2 }, { n: 8 }, { n: 6 }], 'n'); // 2
+```
