Skip
A skip operation produces a sequence or stream that omits a specified portion of elements from its beginning.
Spring in Action, Sixth Edition
skip is a Project Reactor operator that suppresses a specified number of source elements or elements emitted before a specified duration.
- How it is used
- Filters the beginning of a reactive stream before its remaining elements are emitted.
- How deep it goes
- Explains count-based and duration-based forms through tests, without detailing operator internals.
- Examples
- Tests five-string Fluxes that skip three items or wait four seconds before emitting.
- What you can do after
- Apply it via Project Reactor Flux.skip to discard initial items or a timed interval and verify the result with StepVerifier.
Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core
The Skip method is a LINQ sequence operation that omits a specified number of elements from the beginning of a sequence.
- How it is used
- Implements record-offset calculation for paging an EF Core web API query.
- How deep it goes
- Explains the paging formula and zero-based behavior, but stops short of deeper query-provider internals.
- Examples
- Demonstrates Skip in BoardGameController.Get alongside Take, default parameters, and RestDTO paging properties.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure paged API queries by calculating the offset from pageIndex and pageSize.
