Description

I can't find a way to expose an enum to js, and I see that recently someone else posted on gitter with the same problem.

I'm currently using a hackish solution to achieve it (see this discussion on the mailing list), but I'm wondering if there's a standard way to do it or if it has been intentionally left out.
