使用typescript@next中提供的自定义转换器(https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/13940)，您可以从字符串字面类型创建字符串值的枚举对象。

请查看我的npm包，ts-transformer-enumerate。

使用示例:

// The signature of `enumerate` here is `function enumerate<T extends string>(): { [K in T]: K };`
import { enumerate } from 'ts-transformer-enumerate';

type Colors = 'green' | 'yellow' | 'red';
const Colors = enumerate<Colors>();

console.log(Colors.green); // 'green'
console.log(Colors.yellow); // 'yellow'
console.log(Colors.red); // 'red'

在最新版本(1.0RC)的TypeScript中，你可以像这样使用枚举:

enum States {
    New,
    Active,
    Disabled
} 

// this will show message '0' which is number representation of enum member
alert(States.Active); 

// this will show message 'Disabled' as string representation of enum member
alert(States[States.Disabled]);

更新1

要从string value中获取enum成员的number值，你可以使用这个:

var str = "Active";
// this will show message '1'
alert(States[str]);

更新2

在最新的TypeScript 2.4中，引入了字符串enum，如下所示:

enum ActionType {
    AddUser = "ADD_USER",
    DeleteUser = "DELETE_USER",
    RenameUser = "RENAME_USER",

    // Aliases
    RemoveUser = DeleteUser,
}

有关TypeScript 2.4的更多信息，请阅读MSDN上的博客。

一个俗套的说法是:-

CallStatus.ts

enum Status
{
    PENDING_SCHEDULING,
    SCHEDULED,
    CANCELLED,
    COMPLETED,
    IN_PROGRESS,
    FAILED,
    POSTPONED
}

export = Status

Utils.ts

static getEnumString(enum:any, key:any):string
{
    return enum[enum[key]];
}

如何使用

Utils.getEnumString(Status, Status.COMPLETED); // = "COMPLETED"

TypeScript < 2.4

/** Utility function to create a K:V from a list of strings */
function strEnum<T extends string>(o: Array<T>): {[K in T]: K} {
  return o.reduce((res, key) => {
    res[key] = key;
    return res;
  }, Object.create(null));
}

/**
  * Sample create a string enum
  */

/** Create a K:V */
const Direction = strEnum([
  'North',
  'South',
  'East',
  'West'
])
/** Create a Type */
type Direction = keyof typeof Direction;

/** 
  * Sample using a string enum
  */
let sample: Direction;

sample = Direction.North; // Okay
sample = 'North'; // Okay
sample = 'AnythingElse'; // ERROR!

到源代码链接，你可以找到更多更简单的方法来实现字符串文字类型

你可以在最新的TypeScript中使用字符串枚举:

enum e
{
    hello = <any>"hello",
    world = <any>"world"
};

更新- 2016

最近我在React中使用的一种更健壮的方法是这样的:

export class Messages
{
    static CouldNotValidateRequest: string = 'There was an error validating the request';
    static PasswordMustNotBeBlank: string = 'Password must not be blank';   
}

import {Messages as msg} from '../core/messages';
console.log(msg.PasswordMustNotBeBlank);

@basarat的回答很棒。下面是一个你可以使用的简化但有点扩展的例子:

export type TMyEnumType = 'value1'|'value2';

export class MyEnumType {
    static VALUE1: TMyEnumType = 'value1';
    static VALUE2: TMyEnumType = 'value2';
}

console.log(MyEnumType.VALUE1); // 'value1'

const variable = MyEnumType.VALUE2; // it has the string value 'value2'

switch (variable) {
    case MyEnumType.VALUE1:
        // code...

    case MyEnumType.VALUE2:
        // code...
}
