How to merge two enums in TypeScript

Question

Suppose I have two enums as described below in Typescript, then How do I merge them

enum Mammals {
    Humans,
    Bats,
    Dolphins
}

enum Reptiles {
             


        

Answer 1

I'm not going to propose a solution to merge to enums (I couldn't find a proper way to do it)

But if you want something behaving like an enum from the way you consume it, you could still use merged object in javascript.

enum Mammals {
    Humans = 'Humans',
    Bats = 'Bats',
    Dolphins = 'Dolphins',
}

enum Reptiles {
  Snakes = 'Snakes',
  Alligators = 'Alligators',
  Lizards = 'Lizards',
}

const Animals = {
   ...Mammals,
   ...Reptiles,
}

type Animals = Mammals | Reptiles

Then you could use Animals.Snakes or Animals.Dolphins and both should be properly typed and work as an enum
