FunctionalEnumDeclaration

Create a Python enum using the functional syntax.

This generates enums using the Enum('Name', [...]) or Enum('Name', {...}) syntax. The format depends on whether enum members have explicit values:

  • Members without values: Enum('Direction', ['NORTH', 'SOUTH', 'EAST', 'WEST'])
  • Members with values: Enum('Direction', {'NORTH': 1, 'SOUTH': 2, 'EAST': 3, 'WEST': 4})

<FunctionalEnumDeclaration

jsValue?: string | number;

}>}

/>
baseTypeoptional”Enum” | “IntEnum” | “StrEnum” | “Flag” | “IntFlag”

The base type of the enum. One of: ‘Enum’, ‘IntEnum’, ‘StrEnum’, ‘Flag’, ‘IntFlag’. Defaults to ‘Enum’.

docoptionalChildren

Optional docstring for the enum.

Documentation for this declaration

membersoptionalArray<{ name: string; value?: Children; jsValue?: string | number; doc?: string; }>

Members of the enum as an array of objects.

namestring

The base name of this declaration. May change depending on naming policy and any conflicts.

refkeyoptionalRefkey | Refkey[]

The refkey or array of refkeys for this declaration.

styleoptional”classic” | “auto” | “functional”

The enum style: ‘classic’ (default), ‘auto’, or ‘functional’.

<FunctionalEnumDeclaration
name="Direction"
members={[
{ name: "NORTH" },
{ name: "SOUTH" },
{ name: "EAST" },
{ name: "WEST" }
]}
/>

renders to:

Direction = Enum('Direction', ['NORTH', 'SOUTH', 'EAST', 'WEST'])
<FunctionalEnumDeclaration
name="Status"
members={[
{ name: "PENDING", value: 1 },
{ name: "ACTIVE", value: 2 },
{ name: "INACTIVE", value: 3 }
]}
/>

renders to:

Status = Enum('Status', {'PENDING': 1, 'ACTIVE': 2, 'INACTIVE': 3})
