@zerochae/ts-enum v1.0.0

🚀 ts-enum - Java-style Enums in TypeScript

A TypeScript Enum library inspired by Java's Enum.
Provides auto-registration, type safety, and a more structured approach to Enums in TypeScript.

📌 Features

✅ Java-like Enum with static values() and valueOf() methods
✅ Auto-register Enums without manual configuration
✅ Type-safe and strict Enum handling
✅ Removes unwanted Function properties (apply, caller, bind)

📦 Installation

You can install ts-enum via npm or yarn:

npm install @zc/tts-enum
# or
yarn add @zc/ts-enum

🛠️ Usage

1️⃣ Basic Enum Example

// UserStatus.ts
import { Enum, createEnum } from "ts-enum";

export default createEnum(
  class UserStatus extends Enum {
    static readonly ACTIVE = new UserStatus("ACTIVE");
    static readonly INACTIVE = new UserStatus("INACTIVE");

    protected constructor(value: string) {
      super(value);
    }

    isActive() {
      return this === UserStatus.ACTIVE;
    }
  },
);

// another file
import UserStatus from "/my/enum/path/UserStatus"

console.log(UserStatus.values()); 
// ✅ [UserStatus.ACTIVE, UserStatus.INACTIVE]

console.log(UserStatus.valueOf("ACTIVE") === UserStatus.ACTIVE); 
// ✅ true

console.log(UserStatus.ACTIVE.isActive()); 
// ✅ true

2️⃣ Enum with Additional Methods

// OrderStatus.ts
import { Enum, createEnum } from "ts-enum";

export default createEnum(
  class OrderStatus extends Enum {
    static readonly PENDING = new OrderStatus("PENDING");
    static readonly COMPLETED = new OrderStatus("COMPLETED");
    static readonly CANCELED = new OrderStatus("CANCELED");

    protected constructor(value: string) {
      super(value);
    }

    isFinalized() {
      return this === OrderStatus.COMPLETED || this === OrderStatus.CANCELED;
    }
  },
);

// use another file
import OrderStatus from "/my/enum/path/OrderStatus"

console.log(OrderStatus.PENDING.isFinalized()); 
// ✅ false

console.log(OrderStatus.COMPLETED.isFinalized()); 
// ✅ true

🎯 API Reference

Enum Base Class

All custom Enums should extend the Enum base class.
