TypeScript 2.4 string enums

TypeScript 2.4 will have string enums:

Any plans to support this?

thank you

What errors are you getting? I think this is an awesome feature.

I'm focusing on adding all the latest features to https://github.com/vega/typescript-to-json-schema but I'm happy to review pull requests.

1. I haven't actually tried yet to use typescript 2.4 and string enums with typescript-json-schema 😮 . I will give it a whirl soon when I have some time and report back.

2. Is https://github.com/vega/typescript-to-json-schema going to be the successor to https://github.com/YousefED/typescript-json-schema ? Which one should new projects use?

thank you

Just added ts 2.4 support to https://github.com/vega/typescript-to-json-schema.

Maybe, maybe not. I have shifted my attention towards the other one because I needed support for proper aliasing. Howver, I decided not to port a lot of features that exist here. I think both libraries ave their place and hopefully it's easy to switch from one to the other.

I suggest that you try both and see whether theyr support the features you need and produce clean output for your code.

@domoritz - any chance of adding TS 2.4 support for this project? I'm wanting to use the string enums too.

I won't do it for a few months but I can review PRs. Until then, give https://github.com/vega/typescript-to-json-schema a spin.
