Interesting, we’re the opposite: use enums where possible. We think it adds more clarity to the reader.
Besides, sometimes number values make more sense then string values. Especially when you want to do bitwise operations, which are not possible on string unions.
- brundolf 4y agoThat's an interesting point about using number values- I have to say I've never needed to do a bitwise operation in JavaScript, though I know some high-performance projects like physics engines and the TypeScript compiler itself use them Still, I'd prefer: const MyNumericEnum = { One: 0b001, Two: 0b010, Three: 0b100 } as const type MyNumericEnum = typeof MyNumericEnum[keyof typeof MyNumericEnum] Just for explicitness. But that's my subjective opinion
