ts enum not working Argument of type '"MALE"' is not assignable to parameter of-CodePudding

I want to use ENUM but I got this error message:

Argument of type '"MALE"' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Gender | (() => Gender | null) | null

Code:

enum Gender {
  MALE = 'MALE',
  FEMALE = 'FEMALE',
};

  const [gender, SetGender] = useState<Gender | null>('MALE');```

CodePudding user response：

It is an enum, so instead of using string 'MALE', use Gender to reference the enum variable.

enum Gender {
  MALE = 'MALE',
  FEMALE = 'FEMALE',
};

const [gender, SetGender] = useState<Gender | null>(Gender.MALE); // valid code
