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

I use this function, I think it's simple and doesn't need any kind of 'hack':

T enumFromString(List values, String value) {
    return values.firstWhere((v) => v.toString().split('.')[1] == value,
                             orElse: () => null);
}

You can use it like this:

enum Test {
    value1,
    value2,
}

var test = enumFromString(Test.value, 'value2') // Test.value2
