Description

As of Sling Models 1.1.0 it seems to not be possible to inject enum values from Resources and ValueMaps.

A custom injector could provide that feature. GitHub gist: https://gist.github.com/dherges/5d8f3c6b6821759cfa1c

Question remains whether it is a good idea to do String-to-Enum-mapping in Sling Models?

Alternative would be to have ResourceDecorators/ValueMapDecorators that already hold enum values.
