Re: [swift-evolution] [Pitch] Synthesized static enum property to iterate over cases

Hey folks! Thanks for all the great feedback and discussion. I really like Tony's suggestion of the opt-in ValueEnumerable protocol. However, I think Kevin is right that it should be a simple array. If we wanted to get fancy, we could implement a custom integer indexed collection that indexed

Re: [swift-evolution] [Pitch] Synthesized static enum property to iterate over cases

I've been waiting for this for years. Literally since Swift was announced. IMO it's one of several major gaps in the language. Some thoughts: - It should be a simple array. - By far the most simple solution, and the one I (and, I'd guess, others) would expect. - Every time I've

Re: [swift-evolution] [Pitch] Synthesized static enum property to iterate over cases

Thanks for bringing this up, Logan! It's something I've been thinking about a lot lately after a conversation with some colleagues outside of this community. Some of my thoughts: AFAIK, there are two major use cases here: (1) you need the whole collection of cases, like in your example, and (2)

+1000 I once made a country code enum, and creating that array was simple, but took forever, and was prone to mistakes. Thanks, Jon > On Sep 8, 2017, at 2:56 AM, Logan Shire via swift-evolution > wrote: > > Googling ‘swift iterate over enum cases’ yields many
