Swagger UI Web Api documentation Present enums as strings?
<p>Is there a way to display all enums as their string value in swagger instead of their int value? </p>

<p>I want to be able to submit POST actions and put enums according to their string value without having to look at the enum every time. </p>

<p>I tried <code>DescribeAllEnumsAsStrings</code> but the server then receives strings instead of the enum value which is not what we're looking for. </p>

<p>Has anyone solved this?</p>

<p>Edit:</p>

<pre><code>public class Letter 
{
    [Required]
    public string Content {get; set;}

    [Required]
    [EnumDataType(typeof(Priority))]
    public Priority Priority {get; set;}
}


public class LettersController : ApiController
{
    [HttpPost]
    public IHttpActionResult SendLetter(Letter letter)
    {
        // Validation not passing when using DescribeEnumsAsStrings
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            return BadRequest("Not valid")

        ..
    }

    // In the documentation for this request I want to see the string values of the enum before submitting: Low, Medium, High. Instead of 0, 1, 2
    [HttpGet]
    public IHttpActionResult GetByPriority (Priority priority)
    {

    }
}


public enum Priority
{
    Low, 
    Medium,
    High
}
</code></pre>
