Using enum as property of Realm model

Question

Is it possible to use an Enum as a property for my model? I currently have a class like this:

class Checkin: RLMObject {
  dynamic var id: Int = 0
  dynamic          


        

Answer 1

I've refined this model a little further.

enum Thing: String {
    case Thing1
    case Thing2
    case Thing3
}

then in my Realm class object:

class myClass : Object {
    private dynamic var privateThing = Thing.Thing1.rawValue
    var thing: Thing {
        get { return Thing(rawValue: privateThing)! }
        set { privateThing = newValue.rawValue }
    }
}

This allows us to write

myClassInstance.thing = .Thing1

(storing "Thing1" into privateThing), but prevents typing of

myClassInstance.privateThing = "Thing4"

which is not a valid value so preserving data integrity.
