What are the differences between TypeScript enums and strings?

TypeScript enums are a way to define a set of named constants, while strings are just primitive data types. Enums provide better readability and maintainability.

Can you give me an example of how to use enums in TypeScript?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

enum Color {
    Red,
    Green,
    Blue
}

let c: Color = Color.Green;

What are the advantages of using enums over strings?

Enums provide type safety, better autocompletion in IDEs, and prevent invalid values, making your code more robust.

Are there any downsides to using enums?

One downside is that enums can increase the bundle size if used extensively, and they may introduce complexity in some cases.
