Support serialization for enums

[alonbl]

Hi,

I have the following typescript:

export enum ResponseCode {
  OK = 'OK',
  ERROR = 'ERROR',
  NOT_LOGGED_IN = 'NOT_LOGGED_IN',
}

The conversion is:

class ResponseCode(Enum):
    OK = 'OK'
    ERROR = 'ERROR'
    NOT_LOGGED_IN = 'NOT_LOGGED_IN'

The result cannot be serialized into json using standard tools as Enum is not serializable.

TypeError: Object of type ResponseCode is not JSON serializable

For integers the IntEnum can be used as base class and is working.

For string based enums, the following is working:

class ResponseCode(str, Enum):
    OK = 'OK'
    ERROR = 'ERROR'
    NOT_LOGGED_IN = 'NOT_LOGGED_IN'

Please consider supporting.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for the good suggestion. I believe it would still be possible to serialize this by using https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json.JSONEncoder, but I am planning to implement your suggestion in Version 0.7
