Decodable Enum

MyThing.swift

// every now and then I really find an enum to be the right construct for a data model
// in this case events have "eventTypes" and using pattern matching on the eventType is desirable
// eventTypes are based on a serverside array of possibilities "[private, public]" but theree is the possibility that 
// this would be added to serverside so this should not nesecarily break the client implemenation
// to deal with this we need an unknown case

enum EventType: String, Decodable {
   case `private`
   case `public`
   case unknown
  
  init?(string: String) {
    switch string.lowercased() {
    case "public": self = .`public`
    case "private": self = .`private`
    default: self = .unknown
    }
  }
}

struct MyEvent: Decodable {
  let id: String
  let eventType: EventType
