Using a type as indexer

I have set an enum like this:



type Mode = 'Auto' | 'Manual';


I now want to create an object where they keys must be one of the strings from Mode enum.



I tried this:



class Form extends React.Component {

fields:
[index: ExecutionMode]: string
=
Auto: ,
Manual: ,
;


However this gives me error:




[ts] An index signature parameter type cannot be a type alias. Consider writing '[index: string]: string' instead.




Is this possible in typescript?

    Why you call this enum type Mode = 'Auto' | 'Manual'; when it is a union? Did you mis-call it, or did you wrote wrong code here.

Here you are



type Mode = 'Auto' | 'Manual';

type Fields =
[K in Mode]: string


// inside your class:
fields: Fields =
Auto: ,
Manual:



BTW, what you are calling "enum" is a "union".
