Function createSimpleMap

createSimpleMap<E, V>(values): EnumTypeMap<E, V>

Create a map object which contains both the perperty key and value which both map to the requested generic mapValue with a type of V, E[key] => mapValue and E[value] => mapValue.

Type Parameters

E
Identifies the const enum type (eg. typeof Animal);
V
Identifies the type of the mapping string; number; etc is not restructed to primitive types.

Parameters

values: {
[key in string | number | symbol]: [E[keyof E], V]
}
The values to populate on the new object

Returns EnumTypeMap<E, V>

A new frozen (immutable) object which contains a property for each key and value that returns the defiend mapped value.

Example

const enum Animal {
   Dog = 0,
   Cat = 1,
   Butterfly = 2,
   Bear = 3
};
// Creates a simple mapping to a string value
const animalFamilyMap = createValueMap<typeof Animal, string>({
   Dog: [ Animal.Dog, "Canidae"],
   Cat: [ Animal.Cat, "Felidae"],
   Butterfly: [ Animal.Butterfly, "Papilionidae"],
   Bear: [ Animal.Bear, "Ursidae"]
});
// You end up with an object that maps everything to the name
animalMap.Dog === "Canidae";     // true with typeof animalMap.Dog is "string"
animalMap[0] === "Canidae";      // true with typeof animalMap[0] is "string"
animalMap["Dog"] === "Canidae";  // true with typeof animalMap["Dog"] is "string"
animalMap.Cat === "Felidae";     // true with typeof animalMap.Cat is "string"
animalMap[1] === "Felidae";      // true with typeof animalMap[1] is "string"
animalMap["Cat"] === "Felidae";  // true with typeof animalMap["Cat"] is "string"
