A better way to define enums in Typescript
const ORDER_STATUS = {
OPEN: 'Offen',
ORDERED: 'Bestellt',
CANCELED: 'Storniert'
} as const;
type OrderStatus = keyof typeof ORDER_STATUS;
function methodWithEnum(status: OrderStatus) {
console.info(`${ORDER_STATUS[status]}: ${status}`);
}
methodWithEnum("OPEN");In this way it is much easier to provide an enum including a potential mapping to a different value e.g. a display value.
This solution is usually considered being better, as long as enums aren’t supported by JavaScript natively.
