dropLast

Problem

You need to remove the last N items from an array — for example trimming a trailing sentinel or removing the most-recent log entries.

Solution

Use dropLast(array, n?) to return a new array without the last n items.

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

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

Pitfalls

• When n exceeds the array length, returns an empty array.
