is there a way to conveniently save an enum type and then later retrieve all the name of that enums?

[Marc Knaup]

If it's on the JVM use val foo: KClass<Enum<*>> and then foo.java.enumConstants.map { it.name } for the names.

[elect]

how can I set foo?

[Marc Knaup]

foo = MyEnum::class

[elect]

that is, how to retrieve the Kclass

[elect]

I'm dummy, I was looking for KClass returning type, but .class doesnt show anything..

[elect]

anyway, thanks Marc, it works flawness

[nkiesel]

or use Enum.values()

enum class Foo { A, B, C }
val names =  Foo.values().map { it.name }

[Dico]

enumValues<Foo>()
