goenums

goenums addresses Go’s lack of native enum support by generating comprehensive, type-safe enum implementations from simple constant declarations. Transform basic iota based constants into feature-rich enums with string conversion, validation, JSON handling, database integration, and more.

Key Features

• Type Safety: Wrapper types prevent accidental misuse of enum values
• String Conversion: Automatic string representation and parsing
• JSON Support: Built-in marshaling and unmarshaling
• Database Integration: SQL Scanner and Valuer implementations
• Validation: Methods to check for valid enum values
• Iteration: Modern Go 1.21+ iteration support with legacy fallback
• Extensibility: Add custom fields to enums via comments
• Exhaustive Handling: Helper functions to ensure you handle all enum values
• Zero Dependencies: Completely dependency-free, using only the Go standard library
