-Deriving `FromStr` is not supported for enums.
+When deriving `FromStr` for an enums with variants with no fields it will
+generate a `from_str` method that converts strings that match the variant name
+to the variant. If using a case insensitive match would give a unique variant
+(i.e you dont have both a `MyEnum::Foo` and a `MyEnum::foo` variant) then case
+insensitve matching will be used, otherwise it will fall back to exact string
+matchng.
+
+Since the string may not match any vairants an error type is needed so one
+will be generated of the format `Parse{}Error`
+
+e.g. Given the following enum:
+
+```rust
+# #[macro_use] extern crate derive_more;
+# fn main(){}
+#[derive(FromStr)]
+enum EnumNoFields {
+    Foo,
+    Bar,
+    Baz,
+}
+```
+
+Code like this will be generated:
+
+```rust
+# enum EnumNoFields {
+#     Foo,
+#     Bar,
+#     Baz,
+# }
+
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]
+struct ParseEnumNoFieldsError;
+
+impl std::fmt::Display for ParseEnumNoFieldsError {
+    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
+        fmt.write_str("invalid enum no fields")
