how to use the skip function from the rxjs library in javascript

The skip() function from the RxJS library is used to ignore a specified number of emitted values from an Observable source, and start emitting subsequent values from that source.

Here's an example of using the skip() function:

index.tsx
const { from } = rxjs;
const { skip } = rxjs.operators;

const source$ = from([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

// Skip the first 2 values and emit the rest
const result$ = source$.pipe(skip(2));

result$.subscribe(console.log); // Output: 3, 4, 5

In this example, we create an Observable using the from() method which emits values [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. We then use the skip() operator to skip the first 2 values, and only emit values 3 through 5. Finally, we subscribe to result$ and log the emitted values to the console.
