Go projects often need type-safe enums with strict validation, a reusable constructor, and a consistent String method across modules. This skill standardizes a maintainable enum pattern to reduce boilerplate and ensure correctness in internal/modules/<module>/enum/.
Provide the enum name and its value list; the tool will generate a complete, validated Go enum in internal/modules/<module>/enum.

Go enum validation works by using a private validation function and a validation map to check values. Invalid values trigger errors surfaced through a central errs package, ensuring strict correctness across internal modules.
The best way to standardize Go enum patterns is generating files in a dedicated internal/modules/<module>/enum/ directory. This enforces consistent constructors, String methods, and validation integration across different services.
You generate a Go enum constructor and String method by providing an enum name and value list. The output file includes a New<Name>Enum constructor and a String() method alongside the constants and validation map.
Generating Go enums with a validation map requires no external dependencies. It relies on a central errs package within your project to surface invalid values clearly during the private validation process.
You need a generated Go enum file in internal/modules when your project requires strict type safety, reusable constructors, and consistent String methods across different modules. This reduces boilerplate and ensures validation correctness.
