In toJson, it called non-exist toInt method on extensible enum whose value is Integer.

"minute": {
  "description": "The minute element of the time. Allowed values are 0 and 30. If not specified, its value defaults to 0.",
  "type": "integer",
  "format": "int32",
  "enum": [
    0,
    30
  ],
  "default": 0,
  "x-ms-enum": {
    "name": "Minute",
    "modelAsString": true
  }
}

In toJson, we are doing:

jsonWriter.writeNumberField("minute", this.minute == null ? null : this.minute.toInt());

Tasks

Beta Give feedback

1. For TypeSpec and Swagger non-string extensible enums, generate ExpandableEnum interface
2. For Existing Swagger with non-string extensible enums, investigate solutions, probably need customization
3. Share implementation between branded and non-branded non-string extensible enum

[XiaofeiCao]

Discussed with srikanta, will wait for azure-core support(currently on non-branding).

Discussion

fromInteger(Integer value)/fromInt(Integer value) vs fromInt(int value)?

1. Integer:

Pros:

• seems better with getValue() since it also uses Integer
• easier implementation(null check is always there, and we can use enumType.getNullableType everywhere)

Cons:

• ClientType is primitive, though actual interface is boxed type.

2. int

Pros:

• ClientType is int

Cons:

• not align with getValue(), as getValue returns boxed type.

I prefer fromInt(Integer value) so that codegen won't have to deal with fixed vs expandable difference when doing deserialization.
Fixed enum example: https://github.com/Azure/autorest.java/blob/main/typespec-tests/src/main/java/com/cadl/enumservice/models/Unit.java

[XiaofeiCao]

9-12 discussion conclusion:

1. Use fromValue for the static deserialize method and boxed type as parameter, to align with getValue that we have in ExpandableEnum
2. In fromValue, we should throw instead of directly returning null. This will differ from current ExpandableStringEnum, which returns null, though I believe String can be seen as a special case.

[XiaofeiCao]

We should also deal with unbranded.

9-26 discussion:

1. For Swagger, we should also generate ExpandableEnum for non-string, and do customization for those existing ExpandableStringEnum in cdn, monitor and sql.
