[Kotlin Client Codegen] Hello. I have issue with generating

Enum

that as got

name

property. I have got Graphql server that has got enum class properties defined in UPPERCASE and renamed with

@GraphQLName

(because of

name

property).

enum class EnumClass {
    @GraphQLName("id")
    @JsonProperty("id")
    ID,
    @GraphQLName("name")
    @JsonProperty("name")
    NAME,
    @GraphQLName("createdAt")
    @JsonProperty("createdAt")
    CREATED_AT,
    @GraphQLName("createdById")
    @JsonProperty("createdById")
    CREATED_BY_ID,
}

Now I want to use this type in my graphql-kotlin-client, but generator creates this class:

enum class EnumClass {
    createdAt,
    createdById,
    id,
    name,
    /**
     * This is a default enum value that will be used when attempting to deserialize unknown value.
     */
    @JsonEnumDefaultValue
    __UNKNOWN_VALUE
}

There is a problem that Kotlin Enum cannot has got a

name

property. Please, it is possible to somehow solve it? Thank you

Name is a built in function for all enums (defaults to toString) so your custom enum clashes with jdk built in

Yep, there is not much we can do if the enum value is invalid. As an aside comment, enums can be lowercase. While I also prefer the all uppercase style you could have this as your enum in your server code

enum class EnumClass {
    id
    class_name, // This will clash so must change
    createdAt,
    createdById
}

Hi! Thank you for your response. I created issue on github for this question -> https://github.com/ExpediaGroup/graphql-kotlin/issues/1075 so we can discuss about it there 🙂
