After takeUntil() and takeWhile() function, let's have a look on skipWhile() and skilUntil() functions.
SkipWhile(predicate: function): Skip the value if meet the predicate function.
var foo = Rx.Observable.interval(1000);
/*
--0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--...
skipWhile(x => x < 3).take(3)
-----------3--4--5|
*/ var bar = foo.skipWhile((x)=>{
return x<3;
}).take(3); bar.subscribe(
function (x) { console.log('next ' + x); },
function (err) { console.log('error ' + err); },
function () { console.log('done'); },
); /*
"next 3"
"next 4"
"next 5"
"done"
*/
skipUntil(Observable): after 3 seconds, click the start button, to start the foo observalbe.
var foo = Rx.Observable.interval(1000);
var start$ = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(document.querySelector('#start'), 'click');
/*
--0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--...
skipUntil(start$)
-----------3--4--5|
*/ var bar = foo.skipUntil(start$); bar.subscribe(
function (x) { console.log('next ' + x); },
function (err) { console.log('error ' + err); },
function () { console.log('done'); },
); /*
"next 3"
"next 4"
"next 5"
"done"
*/
