Hey @flrossetto

I like the idea of adding per enum configuration, I've just bee too busy to give this a full review. I'll try to get to it over the holiday season! Thanks so much for spending time to improve the project.

@flrossetto I don't seem to be able to run checks on your latest commit. I have the "verified" validation on, so I'm not sure if that means that your last commit didn't have a verified signature, and that's why I can't kick off the checks, or if it's something else. Do you mind getting that commit updated so I can run the checks on this PR?

- Add MarshalText, UnmarshalText and AppendText methods to Null{{.enum.Name}} type

@flrossetto

Looks like the commits still aren't signed, but the tests worked.

Also see that test coverage took a big hit on this one. Mind getting that back up over the 90% mark?

Valid enum values can be lost during nullable text round trips, documented annotation syntax can be ignored, and ordinary comments can unexpectedly enable generation features and cause compilation failures. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Clear the wrapped enum for empty text.

When UnmarshalText receives empty text after a valid decode, it sets Valid to false but retains the previous enum. A caller that reads the exported enum field can observe stale data. Scan(nil) clears both fields. Update the empty-text branch in generator/enum.tmpl and generator/enum_string.tmpl, then regenerate the snapshots.

Parse boolean values in the legacy annotation branch

When an enum uses @marshal=false, ParseAnnotation sends the value to setStringOption, which rejects marshal as a non-string option. parseEnum logs the error and continues, so generation uses the global Marshal value instead of the enum override. Parse true and false values with setBoolOption in the key=value branch.

Apply @nocamel during per-enum name generation.

The parser accepts @nocamel, but parseEnum still checks only g.LeaveSnakeCase at generator/generator.go Line 406. The annotation therefore has no effect.

Use the enum-specific fallback in that branch.

Proposed fix
-				if !g.LeaveSnakeCase {
+				if !enum.Config.LeaveSnakeCase.GetBool(g.LeaveSnakeCase) {
 					prefixedName = snakeToCamelCase(prefixedName)
 				}

Preserve valid empty-string enum values.

These branches convert every empty input into null before parsing it. A string enum can define "" as a valid value. Its nullable wrapper then marshals to empty text and unmarshals with Valid == false.

On empty input, first test whether the underlying enum accepts "". Treat the input as null only when empty text is not a valid enum value. Apply this rule to both wrapper types.

Require annotation lines to start with @.

This condition accepts @ anywhere in the line. For example, // See @marshal for serialization enables marshaling and can generate methods that conflict with existing methods.

Use strings.HasPrefix(trimmedLine, "@") to match the documented syntax.
