Swift enum with custom initializer loses rawValue initializer

Question

I have tried to boil this issue down to its simplest form with the following.

Setup

Xcode Version 6.1.1 (6A2008a)

An enum defined in MyEnum.swift

Answer 1

extension TemplateSlotType {
    init?(rawString: String) {
        // Check if string contains 'carrousel'
        if rawString.rangeOfString("carrousel") != nil {
            self.init(rawValue:"carrousel")
        } else {
            self.init(rawValue:rawString)
        }
    }
}

In your case this would result in the following extension:

extension MyEnum {
    init?(string: String) {
        switch string.lowercaseString {
        case "zero": 
            self.init(rawValue:0)
        case "one": 
            self.init(rawValue:1)
        case "two":
            self.init(rawValue:2)
        default: 
            return nil
        }
    }
}
