takeUntil

Removes elements in an array until the passed function returns true. Returns the removed elements.

  • Loop through the array, using a for...of loop over Array.prototype.entries() until the returned value from the function is truthy.
  • Return the removed elements, using Array.prototype.slice().
  • The callback function, fn, accepts a single argument which is the value of the element.
const takeUntil = (arr, fn) => {
  for (const [i, val] of arr.entries()) if (fn(val)) return arr.slice(0, i);
  return arr;
};
takeUntil([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n >= 3); // [1, 2]
