Drop While
Drop items from array while predicate is true using lodash _.dropWhile
This tool removes elements from the beginning of an array until the predicate returns false for the first time.
**Features:**
- Multiple predicate types for flexible filtering
- Support for numeric and string comparisons
- Works with arrays of any data type
- Uses lodash's _.dropWhile for reliable operation
**Example:**
Input: `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]`
Predicate: Less than 3
Output: `[3, 4, 5]` (drops 1 and 2 because they are < 3)
**Predicate Types:**
- **less-than**: Drop while value < n
- **greater-than**: Drop while value > n
- **equals**: Drop while value === n
- **not-equals**: Drop while value !== n
- **string-contains**: Drop while string contains substring
- **string-starts-with**: Drop while string starts with prefix
- **string-ends-with**: Drop while string ends with suffix
- **is-nullish**: Drop while value is null/undefined
- **is-truthy**: Drop while value is truthy
- **is-falsey**: Drop while value is falsey
