### Erstellen Sie eine `Enum`-Klasse

Importieren Sie `Enum` und erstellen Sie eine Unterklasse, die von `str` und `Enum` erbt.

Indem Sie von `str` erben, weiß die API Dokumentation, dass die Werte des Enums vom Typ `str` sein müssen, und wird in der Lage sein, korrekt zu rendern.

### Tags with Enums { #tags-with-enums }

If you have a big application, you might end up accumulating **several tags**, and you would want to make sure you always use the **same tag** for related *path operations*.

In these cases, it could make sense to store the tags in an `Enum`.

**FastAPI** supports that the same way as with plain strings:

    public Chars() {
      // elements aren't sorted, to better test SortedSet iteration ordering
      super('b', 'a', 'c', 'd', 'e');
    }
  }

  public static class Enums extends SampleElements<AnEnum> {
    public Enums() {
      // elements aren't sorted, to better test SortedSet iteration ordering
      super(AnEnum.B, AnEnum.A, AnEnum.C, AnEnum.D, AnEnum.E);
    }
  }

    public Chars() {
      // elements aren't sorted, to better test SortedSet iteration ordering
      super('b', 'a', 'c', 'd', 'e');
    }
  }

  public static class Enums extends SampleElements<AnEnum> {
    public Enums() {
      // elements aren't sorted, to better test SortedSet iteration ordering
      super(AnEnum.B, AnEnum.A, AnEnum.C, AnEnum.D, AnEnum.E);
    }
  }
