Sometimes, you may want to lookup for a type in a union to by their attributes.
In this challenge, we would like to get the corresponding type by searching for the common type field in the union Cat | Dog. In other words, we will expect to get Dog for LookUp<Dog | Cat, 'dog'> and Cat for LookUp<Dog | Cat, 'cat'> in the following example.
interface Cat {
type: 'cat'
breeds: 'Abyssinian' | 'Shorthair' | 'Curl' | 'Bengal'
}
interface Dog {
type: 'dog'
breeds: 'Hound' | 'Brittany' | 'Bulldog' | 'Boxer'
color: 'brown' | 'white' | 'black'
}
type MyDogType = LookUp<Cat | Dog, 'dog'> // expected to be `Dog`
