Enum vales do not have translatable labels

For your information, in UI Patterns 2 → , we use "meta:enum" which is not an official standard but supported by some popular projects:

• https://github.com/adobe/jsonschema2md
• https://github.com/coveooss/json-schema-for-human

props:
  type: object
  properties:
    position:
      type: string
      enum:
        - top
        - bottom
      "meta:enum":
        top: Top
        bottom: Bottom

If an item is in enum but not in meta:enum, its label will be the item string
If an item is in meta:enum but not in enum, it is ignored.

It would be great to stay compatible.

@pdureau You're an SDC maintainer now, so … let's just get #4 implemented? 😄 Happy to provide reviews!

So, we have agreed on using meta:enum and leveraging this information and the related translations (from locale module API) is up to the display building tools like UI Patterns 2 and Experience Builder.

Also, adding meta:enum to the documentation will be done in this issue 🌱 Clarify SDC documentation by toning down Twig blocks promotion Active .

So, what can we do in Core?

• Add a mention of meta:enum in ComponentMetadata? Ans some light logic?
• Add meta:enum to some of our test components
• Add a specific test about meta:enum? which one?

I performed Novice Triage on this issue. I added the Novice issue tag because we can update the issue summary and potentially start. We need to come up with a good test for the change.

#4 referenced https://github.com/adobe/jsonschema2md, so I went to look for an example there, and found one that's sufficiently silly to be fun:

    "string_pattern": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "A string following a regular expression",
      "pattern": "^ba.$",
      "examples": ["bar", "baz", "bat"],
      "meta:enum": {
        "baa": "the sounds of sheeps",
        "bad": "German bathroom",
        "bag": "holding device",
        "bah": "humbug!",
        "bam": "a loud sound",
        "ban": "don't do this",
        "bap": "a British soft bread roll",
        "bas": "from ancient Egyptian religion, an aspect of the soul",
        "bat": "…out of hell",
        "bay": ", sitting by the dock of the"
      },

So let's use that one (or a variation thereof).

By the way, ✨ Add an icon management API Active also used meta:enum:

 * If an `enum` is set, then the select is used:
 * - enum => #type = select and #options
 * The key `meta:enum` is used to support description for each enum.
 *
 * @internal
 *   This API is experimental.

Updated issue summary per @pdureau's #8.

Expanded it to a full implementation plan. Which is why it's clear this is definitely not .
