Description

With #282 the casing of generated Enums was changed from some broken/inconsistent state to using PascalCase as default. While the TypeScript docs also uses PascalCase in the examples, I think it would be good to have a config option, to change it.

The TypeScript generators listed on openapi-generator.tech all have an enumPropertyNaming option which allows:

  • camelCase
  • PascalCase
  • snake_case
  • UPPERCASE
  • original

From my understanding this is the place where the config value should be read and matching formatter should be called:

Also the filenameCase option already have more or less the values this new config option would need:

Overall this shouldn't be a complicated but much appreciated change.

Please let me know if you need any more information on this.
