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

The skipUntil function from the RxJS library in JavaScript is a way to skip values emitted by the source Observable until a second Observable emits its first value.

Here's an example that demonstrates how to use skipUntil in a basic scenario, with comments explaining each step:

index.tsx
import { interval, fromEvent } from 'rxjs';
import { skipUntil } from 'rxjs/operators';

// Create an Observable that emits a number every second
const sourceObservable = interval(1000);

// Create a button element in the HTML
const button = document.querySelector('button');

// Create an Observable that emits a value when the button is clicked
const clickObservable = fromEvent(button, 'click');

// Use skipUntil to ignore values from sourceObservable until clickObservable emits its first value
const skippedObservable = sourceObservable.pipe(skipUntil(clickObservable));

// Log the values of the skippedObservable to the console
skippedObservable.subscribe(value => console.log(value));

In this example, skipUntil is used to ignore values from the sourceObservable until the button is clicked. Once the button is clicked, the skippedObservable starts emitting values from the sourceObservable.

Note: This example assumes that you have set up a basic HTML file that includes a button element for the clickObservable to observe.
