Enum from String

Question

I have an Enum and a function to create it from a String because i couldn\'t find a built in way to do it

Answer 1

Collin Jackson's solution didn't work for me because Dart stringifies enums into EnumName.value rather than just value (for instance, Fruit.apple), and I was trying to convert the string value like apple rather than converting Fruit.apple from the get-go.

With that in mind, this is my solution for the enum from string problem

enum Fruit {apple, banana}

Fruit getFruitFromString(String fruit) {
  fruit = 'Fruit.$fruit';
  return Fruit.values.firstWhere((f)=> f.toString() == fruit, orElse: () => null);
}
