How to get select option return type in aura enabled methods?

If the return type in aura enabled method is returning and error and not able to solve. Is there any options apart from adding new class to enable aura to select option class?
@AuraEnabled
    public List<SelectOption> getObjDetails() {
    //do something
}

Hi,
Try making your function as static as below,

@AuraEnabled
    public static List<SelectOption> getObjDetails() {
    //do something
}

Since select options were not support we used maps instaed for the same
@ M Coder@ M Coder

Hi,

You can do a workaround to SelectOption class, by creating a your custom SelectOption class. See below, this a very simple with label and value options only, you can build on this and add new constructors and variables.
  
public class CustomSelectOptions{
	@AuraEnabled String label {get;set;}
	@AuraEnabled String value {get;set;}

	public CustomSelectOptions() {
		this.label = '';
		this.value = '';
	}

	public CustomSelectOptions(String lab, String val) {
		this.label = lab;
		this.value = val;
	}
}

Now you can use this class for your getPicklistValue Method. See Below:
  
public static List<CustomSelectOptions> getPicklistValues(String sObj, String field) {
	List<CustomSelectOptions> options = new List<CustomSelectOptions>();
	Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(sObj).getDescribe().fields.getMap();
	Schema.SObjectField sObjfield = fieldMap.get(field);
	Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldDesc = sObjfield.getDescribe();
	List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ple = fieldDesc.getPicklistValues();
        for( Schema.PicklistEntry f : ple) {
		options.add(new CustomSelectOptions(f.getLabel(), f.getValue());
   	}       
   	return options;
}
