Backslashes are removed from enum values when using ::class notation.

[Bloemendaal]

I've got the following situation. I want to map the enum values to a class-string so I can use them for my polymorphic relation and in the modal to cast them to a human readable enum.

<?php

namespace App\Enums\Pokemon;

use App\Models\Pokemon\PokemonEncounter;
use App\Models\Pokemon\PokemonEncounterMove;
use Spatie\TypeScriptTransformer\Attributes\TypeScript;

#[TypeScript()]
enum BattleRoundActionType: string
{
    case SwapPokemon = PokemonEncounter::class;
    case ExecuteMove = PokemonEncounterMove::class;
}

Then later in the model, I can do the following:

<?php

namespace App\Models\Pokemon;

use App\Enums\Pokemon\BattleRoundActionType;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphTo;

class BattleRound extends Model
{
    protected $casts = [
        'initiator_action_id'   => 'int',
        'initiator_action_type' => BattleRoundActionType::class,
    ];

    public function initiatorAction(): MorphTo
    {
        return $this->morphTo();
    }
}

However, when running the TypeScript generator, this results in the following code:

declare namespace App.Enums.Pokemon {
  export type BattleRoundActionType =
    | 'AppModelsPokemonPokemonEncounter'
    | 'AppModelsPokemonPokemonEncounterMove';
}

This is what I expected:

declare namespace App.Enums.Pokemon {
  export type BattleRoundActionType =
    | 'App\\Models\\Pokemon\\PokemonEncounter';
    | 'App\\Models\\Pokemon\\PokemonEncounterMove';
}

Running:

• PHP 8.2 on Mac
• Package version 2.3.2

Update

I found out that it is Prettier that removes the backslashes because they have no use. Without Prettier, the result looks like this:

declare namespace App.Enums.Pokemon {
export type BattleRoundActionType = 'App\Models\Pokemon\PokemonEncounter' | 'App\Models\Pokemon\PokemonEncounterMove';
}

Still not what I expected, the backslashes should be double, but it explains why there were no backslashes at all.
