import type {IsNever} from './is-never.d.ts';

/**
An if-else-like type that resolves depending on whether the given `boolean` type is `true` or `false`.

Use-cases:
- You can use this in combination with `Is*` types to create an if-else-like experience. For example, `If<IsAny<any>, 'is any', 'not any'>`.

Note:
- Returns a union of if branch and else branch if the given type is `boolean` or `any`. For example, `If<boolean, 'Y', 'N'>` will return `'Y' | 'N'`.
- Returns the else branch if the given type is `never`. For example, `If<never, 'Y', 'N'>` will return `'N'`.

@example
```
import {If} from 'type-fest';

type A = If<true, 'yes', 'no'>;
//=> 'yes'

type B = If<false, 'yes', 'no'>;
//=> 'no'

type C = If<boolean, 'yes', 'no'>;
//=> 'yes' | 'no'

type D = If<any, 'yes', 'no'>;
//=> 'yes' | 'no'

type E = If<never, 'yes', 'no'>;
//=> 'no'
```

@example
```
import {If, IsAny, IsNever} from 'type-fest';

type A = If<IsAny<unknown>, 'is any', 'not any'>;
//=> 'not any'

type B = If<IsNever<never>, 'is never', 'not never'>;
//=> 'is never'
```

@example
```
import {If, IsEqual} from 'type-fest';

type IfEqual<T, U, IfBranch, ElseBranch> = If<IsEqual<T, U>, IfBranch, ElseBranch>;

type A = IfEqual<string, string, 'equal', 'not equal'>;
//=> 'equal'

type B = IfEqual<string, number, 'equal', 'not equal'>;
//=> 'not equal'
```
