function: dropWhile


dropWhile(array: Array, predicate: function): Array

Creates a slice of `array` excluding elements dropped from the beginning. Elements are dropped until `predicate` returns falsey. The predicate is invoked with three arguments: (value, index, array).

Example(s):

const users = [
  { 'user': 'barney',  'active': true },
  { 'user': 'fred',    'active': true },
  { 'user': 'pebbles', 'active': false }
]

dropWhile(users, ({ active }) => active)
// => objects for ['pebbles']

Params:

Name Type Attribute Description
array The array to query.
predicate The function invoked per iteration.

Returns:

Array
