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

To use the skipWhile function from the RxJS library in JavaScript, you first need to import it from the library.

index.tsx
import { skipWhile } from 'rxjs/operators';

Then, you can use it with an Observable. For example, let's say you have an Observable that generates numbers in sequence and you want to skip all the values until a certain condition is met. You can use skipWhile to achieve this:

index.tsx
import { interval } from 'rxjs';
import { skipWhile } from 'rxjs/operators';

const source = interval(1000); // emits a number every second

const example = source.pipe(
  skipWhile(value => value < 5) // skips all values until the value is >= 5
);

example.subscribe(value => {
  console.log(value);
});

In this example, the skipWhile operator skips all the values emitted by the source Observable until the condition value < 5 is no longer true. After that, it emits all the subsequent values.

This is just one example of how to use the skipWhile operator in RxJS. You can use it with any Observable that emits values and a condition that you want to skip until it's no longer true.
