Typescript enum values as array

For a fully typed code, you may want to infer the list of values as a type with some help of the template literal operator:

enum MyEnum { FOO = 'foo', BAR = 'bar' } type MyEnumValue = `${MyEnum}` // => type MyEnumValue = "foo" | "bar" const values: MyEnumValue[] = Object.values(MyEnum) // => ["foo", "bar"]

The simplest way to do it for a string enum is to use Object.values

enum MyEnum { FOO = 'foo', BAR = 'bar' } console.log(Object.values(MyEnum)); 

Imho @Fyodor's solution is cleaner because it covers string enums:

const enumAsArray = Object.values(MyEnum).filter(value => typeof value === 'string') 

This function should work with numeric enums as well and it type-checks:

type EnumObject = {[key: string]: number | string}; type EnumObjectEnum<E extends EnumObject> = E extends {[key: string]: infer ET | string} ? ET : never; function getEnumValues<E extends EnumObject>(enumObject: E): EnumObjectEnum<E>[] { return Object.keys(enumObject) .filter(key => Number.isNaN(Number(key))) .map(key => enumObject[key] as EnumObjectEnum<E>); } 

For example:

enum NumEnum { A, B, C, } // The type is inferred as NumEnum[] let numEnumValues = getEnumValues(NumEnum);
