dropWhile<T> function

List<T> dropWhile<T>(List<T> list, bool predicate(T))

Creates a slice of list excluding elements dropped from the beginning. Elements are dropped until predicate returns falsey.

• @param {List} list The list to query.
• @param {Function} predicate The function invoked per iteration.
• @returns {List} Returns the slice of list.

@example

var users = [
  { 'user': 'barney',  'active': true },
  { 'user': 'fred',    'active': true },
  { 'user': 'pebbles', 'active': false }
];

dropWhile(users, (o) => o['active']);
// => objects for ['pebbles']

Implementation

List<T> dropWhile<T>(List<T> list, bool Function(T) predicate) {
  int index = 0;

  while (index < list.length) {
    if (!predicate(list[index])) {
      break;
    }
    index++;
  }

  return list.sublist(index);
}
