I'm trying to make enum with associated value conform to CaseIterable, RawRepresentable. I'm fine with some default values for associated values when initializing by rawValue.
enum GenresAssociated: CaseIterable, RawRepresentable, Equatable {
case unknown(String)
case blues(String)
case classical(String)
// Implementing CaseIterable
typealias AllCases = [GenresAssociated]
// Enums can have no storage, but the class they are in CAN. Note 'static' in declaration
static var allCases: [GenresAssociated] = [.unknown(""), .blues(""), .classical("")]
typealias RawValue = Int
var rawValue: Int {
// MARK: This causes a crash for unknown reason
return GenresAssociated.allCases.firstIndex(where: { if case self = $0 { return true } else { return false } } ) ?? 0
}
init?(rawValue: Int) {
guard GenresAssociated.allCases.indices.contains(rawValue) else { return nil }
self = GenresAssociated.allCases[rawValue]
}
}
Is there any way to make it without switching manually by all the cases, i.e. without such code:
typealias RawValue = Int
var rawValue: Int {
switch self {
case .unknown:
return 0
case .blues:
return 1
case .classical:
return 2
}
}
What's notable is that very similar code works just fine, for example
enum EnumWithValue {
case one(NSString!), two(NSString!), three(NSString!)
}
let arrayOfEnumsWithValues: [EnumWithValue] = [.one(nil), .two(nil), .three("Hey")]
if let index = arrayOfEnumsWithValues.firstIndex(where: { if case .two = $0 { return true }; return false }) {
print(".two found at index \(index)") //prints ".two found at index 1"
}
