considering enum type as a value object

[mehdihadeli]

Hi @kgrzybek,
Should we consider enum types in our domain model as a enumeration class and value object?
For your enumeration class you don't inherit from Enumeration class, like jimmy bogard base class, what is the reason?

Hi @mehdihadeli

I don't treat ValueObjects as Enumerations. For me:

1. Enumeration is something simple, with no logic and as name implies - I can enumerate on this type.
2. ValueObject is more advanced thing, has logic, behavior, represents a business concept. Sometimes is enumerable (for example statuses of something), sometimes is not enumerable (like Money VO, how you will enumerate?)

@kgrzybek Thanks for your guide.
