1. go-enum

   1 8 833 3.0 Go

   An enum generator for go

   

   Project mention: Enums in Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-12

   There's also https://github.com/abice/go-enum, which I decided to use after evaluating multiple such tools a while ago, but I don't remember exactly why it came out on top for me. Also, both (and others) have evolved since then, so things might have changed.

   One nice thing go-enum does is to even generate the consts, just from a list of values in a comment.

7. enum

   6 1 36 8.3 Go

   Elegant and powerful Go enums with zero code generation (by xybor-x)

   

   Project mention: Go Enum’s problems and solutions with xybor-x/enum | dev.to | 2024-12-11

   The xybor-x/enum libray provides elegant, easy-to-use, and powerful solutions for Go enum with no code generation.

8. valor

   7 1 16 0.0 Go

   Go option and result types that optionally contain a value (by phelmkamp)

   

   Project mention: Three Ways to Think About Go Channels | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-26

   There are type switch statements, at least, and libraries like https://github.com/phelmkamp/valor can use them to provide more concise abstractions. The really frustrating thing is that interfaces can't have methods that introduce new type parameters, so we're stuck with standalone functions like `optional.Map(optionalFoo, barFunc)` instead of `optionalFoo.map(barFunc)`>

    Project mention: Enums in Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-12

    +1. Here is another alternative. I find this generator more lightweight and better syntax:
