Custom enum implementation extends for enums

class Enum {
  constructor(protected value: string) {}

  public toString() {
    return String(this.value);
  }

  public is(value: Enum | string) {
    return this.value = value.toString();
  }
}

class SourceEnum extends Enum {
  public static value1 = new SourceEnum('value1');
  public static value2 = new SourceEnum('value2');
}

class TestEnum extends SourceEnum {
  public static value3 = new TestEnum('value3');
  public static value4 = new TestEnum('value4');
}

function check(test: TestEnum) {
  return test === TestEnum.value2;
}

let value1 = TestEnum.value1;

console.log(value1 + 'hello');
console.log(value1.toString() === 'value1');
console.log(value1.is('value1'));
console.log(!TestEnum.value3.is(TestEnum.value3));
console.log(check(TestEnum.value2));
// this works but perhaps your TSLint would complain
// attention! does not work with ===
// use .is() instead
console.log(TestEnum.value1 == <any>'value1');
