Transform basic iota based constants into feature-rich enums with string conversion, validation, JSON handling, database integration, and more. Type Safety: Wrapper types prevent accidental misuse of enum values String Conversion: Automatic string representation and parsing JSON Support: Built-in marshaling and unmarshaling Database Integration: SQL Scanner and Valuer implementations Validation: Methods to check for valid enum values Iteration: Modern Go 1.21+ iteration support with legacy fallback Extensibility: Add custom fields to enums via comments Exhaustive Handling: Helper functions to ensure you handle all enum values Zero Dependencies: Completely dependency-free, using only the Go standard library This allows you to automatically regenerate your enum code whenever your source files change, integrating smoothly into your existing build process.
