Apex Enum Patterns | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Apex enum patterns — enum-based dispatch instead of string switching, ordinal stability, enum values in Custom Metadata, package-global enums, and the limitations (no methods on enum constants, no associated data). Covers Enum.values(), valueOf(String) failures, and the right way to map an enum to/from a picklist value. NOT for picklist-field design (use admin/picklist-design).
