Kotlin define interface for enum class values meth

问题:

if I define an enum class, let's say:

enum class MyEnum { }

I can do the following as enum class all have a values method:

val values = MyEnum.values()

Now I want my enum to implement an interface and have access to the values() method:

enum class MyEnum : EnumInterface { }

interface EnumInterface {
    fun values() : Array<T>

    fun doStuff() {
        this.values()
    }

}

This doesn't compile and I'm sure how to type the values method. Is it possible to define such interface? Thanks!

You were really close to correct answer. You need to define generic interface and you enum should extend it typed with enum's class like this:

enum class MyEnum : EnumInterface<MyEnum> {
    A,B,C;
    override fun valuesInternal() = MyEnum.values()
}

interface EnumInterface<T> {    
    fun valuesInternal():Array<T>

    fun doStuff() {
        this.valuesInternal()
    }
}
