how to use the dropwhile function from lodash in javascript

The dropWhile function from Lodash is used to create a new array that starts with the first element that doesn't pass a certain test. It takes two arguments - the first is the array to be iterated over, and the second is a function that returns a boolean value.

Here is an example of using dropWhile to create a new array that drops all elements until a negative number is encountered:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');

const numbers = [2, 4, 6, -1, 8, 10, -3];
const droppedNumbers = _.dropWhile(numbers, (num) => num >= 0);

console.log(droppedNumbers); // Output: [-1, 8, 10, -3]
193 chars
7 lines

In the code above, we import Lodash and create an array numbers with some positive and negative numbers. We then use dropWhile with the callback function (num) => num >= 0 to create a new array droppedNumbers that starts with the first negative number.

Note that the dropWhile function returns a new array and does not modify the original array.
