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

Since Realm support Objective-C enums and they are representable by Int you can use this:

class Checkin: Object {
  dynamic var id: Int = 0
  dynamic var kind: Kind = .checkedIn

  @objc enum Kind: Int {
    case checkedIn
    case enRoute
    case droppedOff
  }
  ....
}

If you need to parse to/from String you can use a custom initializer for Kind and an toString function.

There is a discussion about this in GitHub

This works with Swift 3.0 and Realm 2.0.2
