Ensuring all enum keys are present in an array in TypeScript

 To ensure that all keys of an enum are present in an array in TypeScript, you can use TypeScript's type system to perform a type check. Here's an example of how to achieve this:


Suppose you have an enum like this:


```typescript

enum Days {

  Monday,

  Tuesday,

  Wednesday,

  Thursday,

  Friday,

  Saturday,

  Sunday

}

```


And you want to ensure that all enum keys are present in an array. You can define a type that enforces this check:


```typescript

type AllEnumKeysInArray<T> = {

  [K in keyof T]: K;

};


function ensureAllEnumKeysInArray<T>(enumType: T, keysArray: (keyof T)[]): keysArray is (keyof T)[] {

  const enumKeys = Object.keys(enumType).filter(key => isNaN(Number(key))) as (keyof T)[];

  return enumKeys.every(key => keysArray.includes(key));

}


// Usage

const daysArray: (keyof typeof Days)[] = [Days.Monday, Days.Tuesday, Days.Wednesday, Days.Thursday, Days.Friday, Days.Saturday, Days.Sunday];


if (ensureAllEnumKeysInArray(Days, daysArray)) {

  console.log("All enum keys are present in the array.");

} else {

  console.error("Not all enum keys are present in the array.");

}

```


In this example:


1. `AllEnumKeysInArray` is a mapped type that ensures all keys of the enum are present in an array.


2. `ensureAllEnumKeysInArray` is a function that checks if all enum keys are present in the provided array. It uses the `AllEnumKeysInArray` type to enforce the check. If all keys are present, it returns `true`.


This approach provides a type-safe way to ensure that all keys of an enum are present in an array. If the condition is not met, TypeScript will generate a compilation error, helping you catch potential issues at compile time.
