Answer 1

Below is a example of Enum Struct that is Objective-C friendly in the event you need to use Swift Code in Legacy projects written in Objective-C.

Example:

contentType.filename. toString()

returns "filename"

---

contentType.filename. rawValue

returns the Int Value, 1 (since its the second item on struct)

@objc enum contentType:Int {

    //date when content was created [RFC2183]
    case creationDate

    //name to be used when creating file    [RFC2183]
    case filename

    //whether or not processing is required [RFC3204]
    case handling

    //date when content was last modified   [RFC2183]
    case modificationDate

    //original field name in form   [RFC7578]
    case name

    //Internet media type (and parameters) of the preview output desired from a processor by the author of the MIME content [RFC-ietf-appsawg-text-markdown-12]
    case previewType

    //date when content was last read   [RFC2183]
    case readDate

    //approximate size of content in octets [RFC2183]
    case size

    //type or use of audio content  [RFC2421]
    case voice

    func toString() -> String {
        switch self {
        case .creationDate:
            return "creation-date"
        case .filename:
            return "filename"
        case .handling:
            return "handling"
        case .modificationDate:
            return "modification-date"
        case .name:
            return "name"
        case .previewType:
            return "preview-type"
        case .readDate:
                return "read-date"
        case .size:
            return "size"
        case .voice:
            return "voice"
        }
