Here’s a nice simple article explaining enhanced enums that have been around for a while but may be something overlooked. Between these and sealed classes I think Dart has an excellent story for pattern matching.

I’ve yet to find a single use case for enhanced enums. It also doesn’t help that freezed doesn’t support them.

How exactly does freezed not support them? All data on an enhanced enum is static.

Freezed generates sealed classes, not enums.

I’m not sure enhanced enums do what you think they do if you expect freezed to generate anything for them besides what json_serializable generates for regular enums
