Swifty-Enum

This repo helps you use Enum in Swfit way.

Create A Enum Type

const Direction = Enum(['North', 'South', 'East', 'West']);

Now, you get a new type: Direction, which contains four cases:

• North
• South
• East
• West

You can directly use a case by Direction.North, or invoke it with Direction.North(). You can pass associated values in(optionally).

Use Enum.type() to get the type of the case. Use Direction.types to get all cases types.

// Direction is an Enum type.
const myDirection = Direction.North;
switch (Enum.type(myDirection)) {
  case Direction.types.North:
    console.log('North');
    break;
  case Direction.types.South:
    console.log('South');
    break;
  case Direction.types.East:
    console.log('East');
    break;
  case Direction.types.West:
    console.log('West');
    break;
  default:
    break;
}
// it will log out 'North'

Use with associated values

Use addCase to add a plain case, or addCaseWithAssociatedValues to add a case with values.

const AsyncState = Enum()
  .addCase('Loading')
  .addCaseWithAssociatedValues('Succeed', ['payload'])
  .addCaseWithAssociatedValues('Failed', ['error'])
  .build();

Now you get a AsyncState, it will give you 3 function

• Loading
• Succeed
• Failed

You can call the function with associated values you want to put in.

const { Loading, Succeed, Failed } = AsyncState;
let state = Loading();
axios.get('https://httpbin.org/get?name=alice')
  .then((resp) => {
    state = Succeed({ payload: resp })
    console.log(state);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    state = Failed({ error: error })
    console.log(state);
  })  

If the request succeed, you can put the resp in Succeed case, and get that value via Enum.values(state).payload.

If the request failed, you use a Failed to represent that case, and retrieve the error using Enum.values(state).error.
