// Swift enums cannot be declared with a rawValue if they have associated values | |
// like good ol' Amargasaurus has. Using String(describing: dino) on a case with | |
// associated also includes the values, but works fine on unassociated cases. | |
// Mirror(reflecting: dino) can extract the name of an associated case, but is | |
// nil for unassociated cases. Our hero ?? swoops in to save the day! | |
enum Sauropoda { | |
case Amargasaurus(things: Int64, hasOtherThing: Bool?) | |
case Antetonitrus | |
// ... | |
case Titanosauriformes | |
case Vulcanodon | |
var caseName: String { | |
return Mirror(reflecting: self).children.first?.label ?? String(describing: self) | |
} | |
} | |
let v = Sauropoda.Vulcanodon | |
print(String(describing: v)) | |
// Vulcanodon | |
print(Mirror(reflecting: v).children.first?.label) | |
// nil | |
print(v.caseName) | |
// Vulcanodon | |
let a = Sauropoda.Amargasaurus(things: 314, hasOtherThing: nil) | |
print(String(describing: a)) | |
// Amargasaurus(things: 314, hasOtherThing: nil) | |
print(Mirror(reflecting: a).children.first?.label) | |
// Optional("Amargasaurus") | |
print(a.caseName) | |
// Amargasaurus | |
