How to get enum from raw value in Swift?

Question

I\'m trying to get enum type from raw value:

enum TestEnum: String {
    case Name
    case Gender
    case Birth

    var rawValue: String {
        switch

Full working example:

enum TestEnum: String {
    case name = "A Name"
    case otherName
    case test = "Test"
}

let first: TestEnum? = TestEnum(rawValue: "A Name")
let second: TestEnum? = TestEnum(rawValue: "OtherName")
let third: TestEnum? = TestEnum(rawValue: "Test")

print("\(first), \(second), \(third)")

All of those will work, but when initializing using a raw value it will be an optional. If this is a problem you could create an initializer or constructor for the enum to try and handle this, adding a none case and returning it if the enum couldn't be created. Something like this:

static func create(rawValue:String) -> TestEnum {
        if let testVal = TestEnum(rawValue: rawValue) {
            return testVal
        }
        else{
            return .none
        }
    }
