[Typescript Challenges] 4. Easy - First of Array

Implement a generic First<T> that takes an Array T and returns it's first element's type.

type arr1 = ['a', 'b', 'c']
type arr2 = [3, 2, 1]

type head1 = First<arr1> // expected to be 'a'
type head2 = First<arr2> // expected to be 3

 

/* _____________ Your Code Here _____________ */

type First<T extends any[]> = T extends [infer F, ...(infer RT)] ? F: never


/* _____________ Test Cases _____________ */
import type { Equal, Expect } from '@type-challenges/utils'

type cases = [
  Expect<Equal<First<[3, 2, 1]>, 3>>,
  Expect<Equal<First<[() => 123, { a: string }]>, () => 123>>,
  Expect<Equal<First<[]>, never>>,
  Expect<Equal<First<[undefined]>, undefined>>,
]

type errors = [
  // @ts-expect-error
  First<'notArray'>,
  // @ts-expect-error
  First<{ 0: 'arrayLike' }>,
]
