Equivalent of Lodash’s .maxBy in JavaScript

Question

What is the JavaScript equivalent of Lodash’s .maxBy? I saw the code _.maxBy(values, ...) in a YouTube tutorial on minimax. I didn’t want to use any external dependencies, but when I googled my question, I couldn’t find anything that answered my question.
I do have a guess though - forEach except it also finds the maximum value

You can see the implementation here, it's open source:

function maxBy(array, iteratee) {
  let result
  if (array == null) {
    return result
  }
  let computed
  for (const value of array) {
    const current = iteratee(value)

    if (current != null && (computed === undefined
      ? (current === current && !isSymbol(current))
      : (current > computed)
    )) {
      computed = current
      result = value
    }
  }
  return result
}
