​
Type Signature

function skipWhile<T>(
  predicate: (value: T, index: number) => boolean
): MonoTypeOperatorFunction<T>

​
Parameters

​
predicate
(value: T, index: number) => boolean
required
A function to test each item emitted from the source Observable. Once returns false, all subsequent values pass through.

​
Returns

MonoTypeOperatorFunction<T> - A function that returns an Observable that begins emitting items when the predicate becomes false.

​
Usage Examples

​
Basic Example

import { from, skipWhile } from 'rxjs';

const source = from(['Green Arrow', 'SuperMan', 'Flash', 'SuperGirl', 'Black Canary']);
const example = source.pipe(skipWhile(hero => hero !== 'SuperGirl'));

example.subscribe(console.log);
// Output: SuperGirl, Black Canary

  • takeWhile - Takes values while condition is true
  • filter - Filters all values by condition
