drop

Problem

You need to skip the first N items of an array and work with the rest — for example advancing past a header row or implementing pagination.

Solution

Use drop(array, n?) to return a new array with the first n items removed. Default is 1.

import { drop } from '@vielzeug/arsenal';

drop([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 2); // [3, 4, 5]
drop([1, 2, 3]); // [2, 3]
drop([1, 2, 3], 10); // []

Pitfalls

• Dropping more items than the array length returns an empty array, not an error.
