Description

Hi,

Not a bug, but a feature request please. Have been asked to post feature request here.

Version Used:
N/A

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create an enum.
  2. Create a variable in a method for that enum, assign value.
  3. Type sw(tab)(tab) and press Enter.

Expected Behavior:
Like C#, enum values to be auto-listed as cases.

 let status: StatusETW = etw.EtwStatusId as StatusETW;
            switch (status) {
                case StatusETW.Cancelled:
                    break;
                case StatusETW.Completed:
                    break;
                case StatusETW.Draft:
                    break;
                case StatusETW.EligibleToWork:
                    break;
                case StatusETW.Expired:
                    break;
                case StatusETW.UnComplete:
                    break;
                case StatusETW.Unlock:
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }

Actual Behavior:
This happens:

let status: StatusETW = etw.EtwStatusId as StatusETW;
            switch (status) {

                default:
            }

Kind Regards.

Research direction

Reproduce the reported TypeScript editor scenario with an enum and a switch statement, then inspect how switch completion currently creates the default case. The feature is done when invoking completion for an enum-typed switch offers cases for the enum values, with behavior matching the example.
