go mod tidy will remove the reference to github.com/dmarkham/enumer from go.mod #77
Description
This can be prevented by adding a tools.go file:
//go:build tools
package tools
import (
// Protect this entry in go.mod from being removed by go mod tidy.
_ "github.com/dmarkham/enumer"
)
Should probably go into README.md.

Context: The README currently says
so that's why you might want enumer in your go.mod.

Could also be solved in a PR for issue #113 in conjunction with #91

Fixed in #127. The README now uses the Go 1.24 tool directive:
go mod tidy keeps the dependency, so the tools.go workaround is no longer needed. Thanks for raising it. Closing.
