[Typescript] 47. Medium- StartsWith

Implement StartsWith<T, U> which takes two exact string types and returns whether T starts with U

For example

type a = StartsWith<'abc', 'ac'> // expected to be false
type b = StartsWith<'abc', 'ab'> // expected to be true
type c = StartsWith<'abc', 'abcd'> // expected to be false

 

/* _____________ Your Code Here _____________ */

type StartsWith<T extends string, U extends string> = T extends `${U}${string}` ? true: false


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

type cases = [
  Expect<Equal<StartsWith<'abc', 'ac'>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<StartsWith<'abc', 'ab'>, true>>,
  Expect<Equal<StartsWith<'abc', 'abc'>, true>>,
  Expect<Equal<StartsWith<'abc', 'abcd'>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<StartsWith<'abc', ''>, true>>,
  Expect<Equal<StartsWith<'abc', ' '>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<StartsWith<'', ''>, true>>,
