Non Empty Array Type

[Leandro-Albano]

Is your feature request related to a real problem or use-case?

Use-case. Where we need an non empty array to be provided.

Describe a solution including usage in code example

type NonEmptyArray<T> = [T, ...T[]];

const invalid: NonEmptyArray<string> = []; // Type '[]' is not assignable to type 'NonEmptyArray<string>'. Source has 0 element(s) but target requires 1. const valid: NonEmptyArray<string> = ['']; // no error

Who does this impact? Who is this for?

Typescript users that need to type check for non empty arrays.

Describe alternatives you've considered (optional)

The alternative is to document the method/func/prop to notify the consumers that it needs a non empty array.

Additional context (optional)
