Type alias PopPath<TPath>

Type Parameters

• TPath extends string

  A string type representing an object path (e.g., "a.b.c").

  This type works by recursively splitting the path string into two parts (Head and Tail) using template literal types. It then proceeds to check if the Tail itself contains a dot ('.'). If it does, it means there are more than two segments in the path, and the process repeats with the Tail part. If the Tail doesn't contain a dot, it indicates that we've reached the second-to-last segment, and the type then resolves to the Head part, effectively 'popping' the last segment off the path.

  It's important to note that this type will resolve to 'never' if the input string doesn't follow the structure of an object path (i.e., a string with properties separated by dots).

  Examples:

  • PopPath<"a.b.c"> will yield "a.b".
  • PopPath<"x.y"> will yield "x".
  • PopPath<"single"> will yield 'never' as there's no dot to split the string.
