/ * *
* Generates a unique title by appending an incremented number if a title with the same name already exists in the array .
* This can be useful when you need to ensure unique names ( e . g . , for file names , database entries , etc . ) in a list .
*
* @template T - The type of items in the array , defaults to a generic record .
* @param title - The initial title to check for uniqueness .
* @param arr - The array of objects where the title should be unique .
* @param predicate - The key of the object to check uniqueness against ( e . g . , the property of the object that stores the title ) .
* @param splitOperator - The character or string used to split the title and the appended number ( defaults to ` '-' ` ) .
* @param startFromZero - If ` true ` , it checks if the title can exist without any appended number and starts counting from 0 ( if ` false ` , it starts from 1 ) .
* @returns A unique title string , with an appended number if necessary .
*
* @example
* const items = [ { name : 'Project' } , { name : 'Project-1' } ] ;
* const uniqueTitle = generateUniqueTitle ( 'Project' , items , 'name' ) ;
* console . log ( uniqueTitle ) ; // 'Project-2'
