accessing enums

[sachnk]

Hi --

Given the following enum in my schema:

enum MyEnum {
  foo @0;
  bar @1;
}

How do I access the corresponding numerical (or string) values for MyEnum? When I do the following:

...
const capnp = require("capnp");
const schema = capnp.import(__dirname + "/schema.capnp");
console.log(schema);

I see output that looks like:

capnp::Schema {
  typeId: '16659730972699922233',
  MyEnum: capnp::Schema { typeId: '11935489294493185729' },
...

So, there doesn't appear to be a way to access the values of the enum. Which means if I want to use the enum values in my node.js app, I can't really do it -- am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi @sachnk,

In this Node.js implementation, enum values are represented by their string names, e.g. "foo" or "bar". So, there's no need to reference any global constants.
