Lodash _.takeWhile() Method

The _.taketWhile the method is used to create a slice of an array in which elements are taken from the beginning. Also, these elements are taken until predicate returns falsely.

Syntax:

_.takeWhile(array, [predicate=_.identity])

Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

  • array: This parameter holds the array to query.
  • [predicate=_.identity]: This parameter holds the function invoked per iteration.

Return Value: This method is used to return the slice of array.

Example 1: Here, const _ = require(‘lodash’) is used to import the lodash library in the file.

javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash"); 
      
// Original array 
var users = [
  { 'user': 'jupiter''active': false },
  { 'user': 'mercury',    'active': false },
  { 'user': 'saturn', 'active': true }
];
      
  
// Use of _.takeWhile() 
// method
let gfg = _.takeWhile(users, function(o) { return !o.active; });
      
// Printing the output 
console.log(gfg);


Output:

[{ user: 'jupiter', active: false },
 {user: 'mercury', active: false}]

Example 2:

javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash"); 
      
// Original array 
var users = [
  { 'user': 'jupiter''active': false },
  { 'user': 'mercury',    'active': false },
  { 'user': 'saturn', 'active': true }
];
      
  
// Use of _.takeWhile() 
// method
// The `_.matches` iteratee shorthand.
   
let gfg = _.takeWhile(users, { 'user': 'jupiter', 'active': false });
      
// Printing the output 
console.log(gfg);


Output:

[{ user: 'jupiter', active: false }]

Example 3:

javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash"); 
      
// Original array 
var users = [
  { 'user': 'jupiter''active': false },
  { 'user': 'mercury',    'active': false },
  { 'user': 'saturn', 'active': true }
];
      
  
// Use of _.takeWhile() 
// method
// The `_.matchesProperty` iteratee shorthand.
  
let gfg = _.takeWhile(users, ['active', false]);
      
// Printing the output 
console.log(gfg);


Output:

[{ user: 'jupiter', active: false },
 {user: 'mercury', active: false}]

Example 4:

javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash"); 
      
// Original array 
var users = [
  { 'user': 'jupiter''active': false },
  { 'user': 'mercury',    'active': false },
  { 'user': 'saturn', 'active': true }
];
      
  
// Use of _.takeWhile() 
// method
// The `_.property` iteratee shorthand.
  
let gfg = _.takeWhile(users, 'active');
      
// Printing the output 
console.log(gfg);


Output:

[]

Note: This code will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the library lodash to be installed.
