Pass enums in angular2 view templates

Question

Can we use enums in an angular2 view template?

Answer 1

Create a property for your enum on the parent component to your component class and assign the enum to it, then reference that property in your template.

export class Parent {
    public dropdownTypes = DropdownType;        
}

export class Dropdown {       
    @Input() public set dropdownType(value: any) {
        console.log(value);
    };
}

This allows you to enumerate the enum as expected in your template.
