Team Decision

• We want to enable https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/switch-exhaustiveness-check/
• After that is merged, we no longer need the default and can remove it.
  • Consideration, if a non typescript user inputs a bad value, currently it would go into the default case. We could throw an error but we don't do that for other bad values either, so non typescript users don't get special support for enums either.
• @ST-DDT: Will create an issue for switch-exhaustiveness-checks to require default cases for non union type switch cases

EDIT:

• https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/pull/7880

Per #2521 suggest adding the following to docs/guide/upgrading_v9/2508.md:

Some methods now return undefined in Javascript when unknown enumeration values are passed

Some methods would previously fallback to a default value for an option when an unknown value was passed for a enum parameter. Now, these methods will return undefined instead. This only affects usage in Javascript, as in Typescript this usage would already throw a compile-time error.

For example:

faker.color.rgb({format: "unexpectedvalue"}) 
// in Faker v8, is [ 110, 82, 190 ] like {format: "decimal"}
// in Faker v9, is undefined

This affects:

• The format property of faker.color.rgb() must be one of 'binary' | 'css' | 'decimal' | 'hex' if provided
• The format property of faker.color.cmyk(), faker.color.hsl(), faker.color.hwb(), faker.color.lab(), faker.color.lch() must be one of 'binary' | 'css' | 'decimal' if provided
• The variant property of faker.location.countryCode() must be one of alpha-2, alpha-3, numeric if provided
• The casing property of faker.string.alpha() and faker.string.alphanumeric() must be one of 'upper' | 'lower' | 'mixed' if provided
