Hey. I have an interesting Kotlin-Swift related issue 😄

Let’s say you have an enum in Kotlin:

enum class SomeEnum(val id: String) { VALUE1("value1"), VALUE2("value2") }

which you can instantiate in your Kotlin code via valueOf method.

How can I instantiate it in Swift code? Swift doesn’t see valueOf method. I’ve tried to add a compation object into an enum, to “fake” valueOf method but its not visible on Swift side either.

I guess workaround is to pattern match on Swift side, and just return an instance of SomeEnum case:

switch valueInstance {
    case "value1": return .value1
    case "value2": return .value2
}

Are there any other solutions ? 😄

You can use the .values function and do the lookup yourself
