Javascript Enum To Corresponding String Value

Question

So I have this in the javascript for my page:

var TEST_ERROR  = {
        \'SUCCESS\'   :   0,
        \'FAIL\'      :   -1,
        \'ID_ERROR\'  :   -2

This might be different from what you want but I want to share my answer. This was inspired by @LukeHconst solution. Consider bookCategory below you will notice that I'm using a number as a key.

const bookCategory = {
    "0": "Biography",
    "1": "Fiction",
    "2": "History",
    "3": "Mystery",
    "4": "Suspense",
    "5": "Thriller"
};

I wrote the bookCategory like this because if you are using an enum column in MySQL. For example,

category ENUM ('0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5')

You would need some kind of conversion in JavaScript. So I came up with this and the usage is simple as:

bookCategory[book.category]
