Angular Pipe extracts from Enum values, but generic for any Enum-CodePudding

I have an enum with strings assigned to elements. Unfortunately, it does not work with integers as indexes. RoleTypesEnum[0] => undefined. I made a Pipe which solves this problem.

export enum RoleTypesEnum {
    RoleA = 'Role is A',
    RoleB = 'Role is B',
}

//HTML ('opt' integer received from backend)
{{ RoleTypesEnum[opt] | enumIntToDescription}}

@Pipe({
    name: 'enumIntToDescription',
})
export class EnumIntToDescriptionPipe implements PipeTransform {
    transform(value: number): string {
        return Object.values(RoleTypesEnum )[value];
    }
}

But I want to make it generic to work for any Enum type, not only RoleTypesEnum. Can there be a solution to work for any enum? Maybe with generics EnumIntToDescriptionPipe?

CodePudding user response：

If you want to make it generic, you can pass the value of enum to the pipe.

{{ opt | enumIntToDescription: RoleTypesEnum }}

@Pipe({
    name: 'enumIntToDescription',
})
export class EnumIntToDescriptionPipe implements PipeTransform {
    // enum object on which you want this pipe to work
    transform(value: number, enum: any): any {
        return Object.values(enum)[value];
    }
}

In your component, you can pass the enum value to the pipe and it will work as expected.
