Assign param as one value of TS enum?

Question

I have a Typescript enum...

enum Animals {
  CAT = 'cat',
  DOG = 'dog',
  FISH = 'fish'
}

I have a function who's parameter can be one of the values of the enum. How do I type that??

function getAnimal (param: ValueOf<Animal>) {
  return 'Your animal is a ' + param; 
}

The goal is for me to be able to export this function elsewhere in my code, and get the intellisense to say that param can be 'cat'|'dog'|'fish'

Thanks! I didn't know what key words to use to ask this question, even though I was sure I wasn't the first to ask it. — TJBlackman
