Syed Shah updated DELTASPIKE-1415:
----------------------------------
Description:
It'd be great to map enum constants to internationalization messages in a
cleaner way.
The use case is so an enum can be used to define something which users will see:
- The status or state response for an action, represented by an enum.
- The names for enum values such as togglable features, or types of a
particular action that can be taken.
- Where users must specify a specific item from a list.
The simplest examples would be to return the localized status message of an
action:
If a method can return the statuses: _ENTITY_NOT_FOUND_, _ENTRY_NOT_CHANGED_,
_ENTRY_ADDED_, _ENTRY_UPDATED_.
*src/main/java/resources/org/example/myapp/EnumMessages.properties*
{code}
org.example.app.EntryUpdateStatus.ENTITY_NOT_FOUND=No data is being stored on
this entity.
org.example.app.EntryUpdateStatus.ENTRY_NOT_CHANGED=No change has resulted from
your action.
org.example.app.EntryUpdateStatus.ENTRY_ADDED=You've now explicitly set that
value.
org.example.app.EntryUpdateStatus.ENTRY_UPDATED=You've changed the setting.
{code}
An alternative example may be when naming toggles or some kind of categories.
Suppose an enum with the values _COMMON_, _UNCOMMON_, _RARE_, _LEGENDARY_.
*src/main/java/resources/org/example/myapp/EnumMessages.properties*
{code}
org.example.app.Rarity.COMMON=Vanlig
org.example.app.Rarity.UNCOMMON=Uvanlig
org.example.app.Rarity.RARE=Skjelden
org.example.app.Rarity.LEGENDARY=Legendarisk
{code}
Then when using the desired _MessageBundle_, references of an _Enum_ data type
can instead be looked up against the _EnumMessages.properties_ file, and if not
found, fall back to the original _toString()_ logic.
