The Devs Must Be Crazy

Enums, short for "enumerations," are a powerful feature in TypeScript that allow developers to define a set of named constants. Enums make code more readable, maintainable, and less error-prone by providing a way to represent a fixed set of values as symbolic names. In this guide, we'll delve into the fundamentals of enums in TypeScript, exploring their syntax, usage, benefits, and common use cases. What are Enums? Enums in TypeScript enable developers to define a collection of related constants. These constants can be numeric or string-based, providing a convenient way to work with a finite set of values. Enums are defined using the enum keyword followed by a name and a set of members enclosed in curly braces.
