Our RxJS operator of the week is skipWhile<\/a><\/code>. This operator will ignore values emitted by an Observable as long as a given condition is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above example shows us that as long as the emitted values are less than 5, they get skipped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are some everyday use cases for\u00a0skipWhile<\/code>? Here is an example where I want to wait for the user to type at least two characters in a form input before we start filtering (an addition to last week’s startWith<\/code> example<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That way, the filter$<\/code> observable starts emitting values only when the source FormControl<\/code> value has a length of at least two characters, which results in the following behavior:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be used to delay querying a server-side API with HTTP to start filtering only once we have enough meaningful data. This is somewhat similar to what can be done with the debounceTime<\/code> operator<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
