Why am i seeing 'type is not a valid enum value' in typescript?

This error suggests that you're trying to assign a value to an enum variable that isn't one of its valid values.

Example:

  enum Colors {
      Red, Green, Blue
  }
  let myColor: Colors = "Yellow";
  

Solution:

  enum Colors {
      Red, Green, Blue, Yellow
  }
  let myColor: Colors = Colors.Yellow;
