Maturity: 52

An enumeration class that defines standardized types for comments used in review and approval workflows.

Complexity:
simple

Purpose

CommentType provides a type-safe enumeration of comment categories for document review and approval processes. It inherits from both str and Enum, allowing instances to be used as strings while maintaining enum benefits like type checking and iteration. This enum standardizes comment classification across the CDocs system, enabling consistent categorization of feedback, questions, suggestions, and action items in document workflows.

Source Code

class CommentType(str, Enum):
    """Type enum for comments (both review and approval comments)."""
    GENERAL = "GENERAL"
    SPECIFIC = "SPECIFIC"
    RESOLUTION = "RESOLUTION"
    SUGGESTION = "SUGGESTION"
    QUESTION = "QUESTION"
    CORRECTION = "CORRECTION"
    ACTION_REQUIRED = "ACTION_REQUIRED"

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases str, Enum -

Parameter Details

bases: Inherits from str and Enum. The str inheritance allows enum members to be used directly as strings, while Enum provides enumeration functionality including iteration, comparison, and type safety.

Return Value

Instantiation returns a CommentType enum member. Each member is both a string and an enum value, so it can be compared using equality operators, used in string contexts, and iterated over. Accessing members (e.g., CommentType.GENERAL) returns the corresponding enum instance with string value 'GENERAL'.

Class Interface

Attributes

Name Type Description Scope
GENERAL str Represents a general comment type for broad, non-specific feedback applicable to the entire document or review class
SPECIFIC str Represents a specific comment type for targeted feedback on particular sections, lines, or elements class
RESOLUTION str Represents a resolution comment type used to mark discussions as resolved or provide closing remarks class
SUGGESTION str Represents a suggestion comment type for optional improvements or recommendations that are not mandatory class
QUESTION str Represents a question comment type for requesting clarification or additional information class
CORRECTION str Represents a correction comment type for identifying errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies that need fixing class
ACTION_REQUIRED str Represents an action-required comment type for feedback that mandates specific actions or changes before approval class

Required Imports

from enum import Enum

Usage Example

from enum import Enum

class CommentType(str, Enum):
    GENERAL = "GENERAL"
    SPECIFIC = "SPECIFIC"
    RESOLUTION = "RESOLUTION"
    SUGGESTION = "SUGGESTION"
    QUESTION = "QUESTION"
    CORRECTION = "CORRECTION"
    ACTION_REQUIRED = "ACTION_REQUIRED"

# Access enum members
comment_type = CommentType.GENERAL
print(comment_type)  # Output: GENERAL
print(comment_type.value)  # Output: GENERAL

# Use as string
if comment_type == "GENERAL":
    print("This is a general comment")

# Iterate over all types
for ctype in CommentType:
    print(ctype.name, ctype.value)

# Create from string value
comment_type_from_str = CommentType("QUESTION")
print(comment_type_from_str == CommentType.QUESTION)  # Output: True

# Use in type annotations
def process_comment(comment_type: CommentType) -> str:
    return f"Processing {comment_type} comment"

result = process_comment(CommentType.ACTION_REQUIRED)

Best Practices

  • Use CommentType members directly rather than string literals to ensure type safety and prevent typos
  • When accepting comment types as function parameters, use type hints with CommentType to enable IDE autocomplete and type checking
  • The dual inheritance from str and Enum allows seamless integration with string-based APIs while maintaining enum benefits
  • Use CommentType.GENERAL for broad, document-level feedback
  • Use CommentType.SPECIFIC for targeted feedback on particular sections or elements
  • Use CommentType.RESOLUTION for comments that resolve or close previous discussions
  • Use CommentType.SUGGESTION for optional improvements or recommendations
  • Use CommentType.QUESTION for clarification requests
  • Use CommentType.CORRECTION for identifying errors or mistakes
  • Use CommentType.ACTION_REQUIRED for comments that mandate specific actions or changes
  • When serializing to JSON or databases, the string value is automatically used due to str inheritance
  • Iterate over CommentType to get all available comment types programmatically
