Automatic enumeration value

suggest change

This Example demonstrates how to automatically assign a value to each entry in an enum list. This will prevent two enums from having the same value by mistake. NOTE: Object.freeze browser support

var testEnum = function() {
    // Initializes the enumerations
    var enumList = [
        "One",
        "Two",
        "Three"
    ];
    enumObj = {};
    enumList.forEach((item, index)=>enumObj[item] = index + 1); 
    
    // Do not allow the object to be changed
    Object.freeze(enumObj);
    return enumObj;
}();

console.log(testEnum.One); // 1 will be logged

var x = testEnum.Two;

switch(x) {
    case testEnum.One:
        console.log("111");
        break;

    case testEnum.Two:
        console.log("222"); // 222 will be logged
        break;
}

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.
