This is what I’m talking about:
Code for copy-pasting:
type NonEmptyArray<T> = [T, ...T[]]; function neverEmpty<T>(array: T[]): NonEmptyArray<T> | null { if (array.length === 0) return null return array }type NonEmptyArray<T> = [T, ...T[]]; function isNonEmptyArray<T>(arr: T[]): arr is NonEmptyArray<T> { return arr.length > 0; } function neverEmpty<T>(array: T[]): NonEmptyArray<T> | null { if (!isNonEmptyArray(array)) return null return array }Hey cool, I learned something. Thanks!
