How do I access Typescript Enum by ordinal

Question

I have the following...

enum NubDirection {   OUTWARD,   INWARD } ... direction : NubDirection; ... let index = Math.floor(Math.random() * 2) + 1; nub.direction = NubDirection[index]; 

But this throws

error TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'NubDirection'.

Answer 1

If you have string enum like so:

export enum LookingForEnum {     Romantic = 'Romantic relationship',     Casual = 'Casual relationship',     Friends = 'Friends',     Fun = 'Fun things to do!' } 

Then

 const index: number = Object.keys(LookingForEnum).indexOf('Casual'); // 1
