0:00 The page of documentation that this takes you to is S.Split here. This is pretty limited in terms of docs, so it's better to actually read what it does here.

0:10 What we're doing is we have a S.Split that we're importing from ts-toolbelt, and we're grabbing the Path here and passing in a /. That forward slash then splits that path by that delimiter.

0:26 We can choose a different delimiter if we want to by having this "s" here and "U", "er", "/John/Document", "/note", ".txt," and so anything works here. It's fascinating that you can do this at the type level.

0:39 If we look into Split itself, it's a pretty scary type declaration, and this is beyond the scope of the course, really, to examine most of this stuff, especially beyond the scope of this module.

0:52 You should know that this is available to you, especially if you're looking to do really clever stuff with dynamic path parameters, which we may explore later in the section.

The documentation for ,S.Split,. is fairly limited, so we'll read it through our code.

Here's the solution:


type SplitPath = S.Split<Path, "/">

In SplitPath, we are using `S.S
