How to convert enum to QString?

Question

I am trying to use the Qt reflection for converting enum to QString.

Here is the part of code:

class ModelApple
{
    Q_GADGET
    Q_ENUMS(AppleType)

For the global Enum declaring use this in any header file:

namespace YourNamespace {

Q_NAMESPACE

enum YourEnum: int {

    EnumValue1,
    EnumValue2
};
Q_ENUM_NS(YourEnum)

}

and this where you want to get Enum description:

QMetaEnum metaEnum = QMetaEnum::fromType();
qDebug() << "Enum description: " << metaEnum.name() << "::" << metaEnum.valueToKey(YourEnum::EnumValue2);
