enum-js

Simple Enum Implementation for Node.js

Regular Usage

Usage is simple, set up your enum like below:

var Enum = require("enum-js");

var Shape = new Enum([
    "SQUARE",
    "CIRCLE",
    "TRIANGLE"
]);

Then use it like you'd expect:

var myShape = Shape.SQAURE;

You get an extra value for free corresponding to value 0 called NOT_SET

You can do comparison and validation like so:

function isShapeASquare(inputShape) {
    if (!Shape.isValid(inputShape)) {
        return "Invalid Parameter";
    }

    if (inputShape === Shape.SQUARE) {
        return "Yes!";
    }

    return "No...";
}

You can also add more values to enum on the fly:

Shape.addValue("CROSS");

Finally, you can turn the value back into the original string by doing:

Shape.stringify(myShape);

That's it! Thanks for reading!
