How do I integrate enums in TypeScript?

In TypeScript, you can define an enum using the enum keyword. For example:

enum Color {
    Red,
    Green,
    Blue
}

This creates an enum called Color with three members.

Can you show me how to use this enum in a function?

Sure! You can use the enum in a function like this:

function getColorName(color: Color): string {
    return Color[color];
}

This function takes a Color enum value and returns its name as a string.

What if I want to assign specific values to the enum members?

You can assign specific values by initializing the members like this:

enum Color {
    Red = 1,
    Green = 2,
    Blue = 4
}

Now, Red is 1, Green is 2, and Blue is 4.

Can enums be used with strings as well?

Yes, TypeScript supports string enums. Here's an example:

enum Direction {
    Up = 'UP',
    Down = 'DOWN',
    Left = 'LEFT',
    Right = 'RIGHT'
}

This creates a string enum with specific string values.
