Serenity.EnumFormatter.format(YourRootNamespace.YourModule.YourEnumType, value) doesn't resolve enum description

[elenaaralla]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the Serenity.EnumFormatter.format(YourRootNamespace.YourModule.YourEnumType, value) but it doesn't resolve enum.

The enumDescr returned is 2 instead of day

In my xyzGrid.ts I have this code:

import { FrequencyUnit } from '../../ServerTypes/Web/Modules.Administration.SysConfig.Enum.FrequencyUnit';
...

// this.downloadFrequencyUnit = 2
console.log("this.downloadFrequencyUnit = " + this.downloadFrequencyUnit);

// this code cause js error: var enumDescr = Serenity.EnumFormatter.getName("PecDownloaderAdmin.Web.Modules.Administration.SysConfig.Enum.FrequencyUnit")(this.downloadFrequencyUnit)

// this code cause js error: : var enumDescr = Serenity.EnumTypeRegistry.get("PecDownloaderAdmin.Web.Modules.Administration.SysConfig.Enum.FrequencyUnit")(this.downloadFrequencyUnit);

// this code return enum id not description  : var enumDescr = Serenity.EnumFormatter.format(Serenity.EnumTypeRegistry.get("PecDownloaderAdmin.Web.Modules.Administration.SysConfig.Enum.FrequencyUnit"), this.downloadFrequencyUnit);


// this code return enum id not description
var enumDescr = Serenity.EnumFormatter.format(FrequencyUnit, this.downloadFrequencyUnit);

this is my enum FrequencyUnit.cs:

using Serenity;
using Serenity.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel;

namespace PecDownloaderAdmin.Web.Modules.Administration.SysConfig.Enum
{
    [EnumKey("SysConfig.FrequencyUnit"), ScriptInclude]
    public enum FrequencyUnit
    {
        [Description("hour")]
        hour = 1,
        [Description("day")]
        day = 2,
        [Description("week")]
        week = 3
    }
}

and this is the generated file in servertypes.web

import { Decorators } from "@serenity-is/corelib";

export enum FrequencyUnit {
    hour = 1,
    day = 2,
    week = 3
}
Decorators.registerEnumType(FrequencyUnit, 'PecDownloaderAdmin.Web.Modules.Administration.SysConfig.Enum.FrequencyUnit', 'SysConfig.FrequencyUnit');

What am I missing?

Thank you,
Elena.

In your Grid.ts, call this method

protected getColumns() {
    var columns = super.getColumns();

    Q.first(columns, x => x.field == "Valore").format = (ctx) => {
        //var item: YourRow = ctx.item;
        let unit= Serenity.EnumFormatter.format(Serenity.EnumTypeRegistry.get("YourRootNamespace.YourModule.YourEnumType"), Q.toId(this.downloadFrequencyUnit));
        return unit;
    }

    return columns;
}
