# skipWhile method

Stream<T> skipWhile (bool test(T element))

Skip data events from this stream while they are matched by `test`.

Returns a stream that emits the same events as this stream, except that data events are not emitted until a data event fails `test`. The test fails when called with a data event if it returns a non-`true` value or if the call to `test` throws. If the call throws, the error is emitted as an error event on the returned stream instead of the data event, otherwise the event that made `test` return non-true is emitted as the first data event.

Error and done events are provided by the returned stream unmodified.

The returned stream is a broadcast stream if this stream is. For a broadcast stream, the events are only tested from the time the returned stream is listened to.

## Implementation

    Stream<T> skipWhile(bool test(T element)) {
      return new _SkipWhileStream<T>(this, test);
    }
