Polyglot Converter

Motivation:
In the example scenario where you have a frontend (TypeScript) and 2 backend services (Go, Python), you want to use the same enums throughout, for consistency, less errors and letting your IDE help you with autocomplete.

Example

Full example here

• Input

Color:
  Red: 0

• Output

// Go
type Color struct {}
func (a Color) Red() int { return 0 }
func (a Color) RedKey() string { return "Red" }
func (a Color) GetKey(value int) string {
    if value == a.Red() { return a.RedKey() }
    return ""
}
func (a Color) GetValue(key string) int {
    if key == a.RedKey() { return a.Red() }
    return -1
}

// TypeScript
class Color {
	static Red = 0
	static RedKey = "Red"
	static GetKey (value: number): string {
		if (value === this.Red) { return this.RedKey }
		return ""
	}
	static GetValue (key: string): number {
		if (key === this.RedKey) { return this.Red }
		return -1
	}
}

# Python
class Color:
	Red = 0
	RedKey = "Red"
	@staticmethod
	def GetKey(value: int) -> str:
		if value == Color.Red: return Color.RedKey
		return ""
	@staticmethod
	def GetValue(key: str) -> int:
		if key == Color.RedKey: return Color.Red
		return -1
