Describe

Implement the JavaScript Array.includes function in the type system. A type takes the two arguments. The output should be a boolean true or false.

For example

code snippetCopytypescript
type isPillarMen = Includes<['Kars', 'Esidisi', 'Wamuu', 'Santana'], 'Dio'> // expected to be `false`

Test Cases

code snippetCopytypescript
import { Equal, Expect } from '@type-challenges/utils'

type cases = [
  Expect<Equal<Includes<['Kars', 'Esidisi', 'Wamuu', 'Santana'], 'Kars'>, true>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<['Kars', 'Esidisi', 'Wamuu', 'Santana'], 'Dio'>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7], 7>, true>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7], 4>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[1, 2, 3], 2>, true>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[1, 2, 3], 1>, true>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[{}], { a: 'A' }>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[boolean, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7], false>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[true, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7], boolean>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[false, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7], false>, true>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[{ a: 'A' }], { readonly a: 'A' }>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[{ readonly a: 'A' }], { a: 'A' }>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[1], 1 | 2>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[1 | 2], 1>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[null], undefined>, false>>,
  Expect<Equal<Includes<[undefined], null>, false>>,
]

Solution

Recursive operation used.

code snippetCopytypescript
type Includes<T extends readonly any[], U> = T extends [infer P, ...infer K]
  ? Equal<U, P> extends true
    ? true
    : Includes<K, U>
  : false
