Fold expression: iterate over variadic template type parameter to check compile-time conditions on the comprising types

What I want to do is simple: in a variadic class template, I want to check some compile-time condition on the types. In this case, I want to find out if a certain type is in the pack or not. This is what the code might have looked like with C++17's fold expressions, but obviously that's not valid syntax. How to implement it?
#include <type_traits>
template <class... Types>
struct TypesPack
template <typename T>
static constexpr bool hasType()
;

Since you're using C++17, you can take advantage of the convenient_vadditions to traits:std::is_same_v<T, U>==std::is_same<T, U>::value.

static constexpr bool hasType()
A fold-expression must be parenthesized, and you're allowed to omit the false when using || as the operator.

Will it also work if there's only one type in the pack?

@VioletGiraffe Yes, it will even work if there are zero.
