This is not about indexing a const enum when the option preserveConstEnums is true. I read the issue that it is impossible.
What I did is to use the copy of the enum.
const enum Kind {
A, B, C
};
const KindName: {[key in Kind]: string} = {
[Kind.A]: "A",
[Kind.B]: "B",
[Kind.C]: "C",
};
console.log(KindName[Kind.A]);
But I can just assign the KindName property to any string. How to force the string value to be the same as corresponding enum property?
Thanks.

How about using regular enums? @rustic turtle
They are opaque, so you won't be able to pass a string when the enums is expected
And you won't need to hold references to it's members by copying the object

I am writing a compiler so I need the advantage of inlining. While the indexing part is just for debugging.
How about the reverse? Make a const enum from an object. Is it possible?

@rustic turtle you can use a mapped type:

Sorry, but in the playground I still can do
[Kind.A]: "should be A"
huh, i don't know why i thought that worked. i saw what i thought was the desired type error when i first wrote it, but i must've had another mistake
this actually works, but it's hideous:
topaz swiftBOT
mkantor#0

ah ha, with key remapping it can become much nicer:
topaz swiftBOT
mkantor#0

Perfection. Thanks so much. I always struggle with these keyof typeof thing.
