Swift has the OptionSet type, which basically adds set operations to C-Style bit flags. Apple is using them pretty extensively in their frameworks. Examples include the options
struct MyOptionSet: OptionSet {
let rawValue: UInt
static let healthcare = MyOptionSet(rawValue: 1 << 0)
static let worldPeace = MyOptionSet(rawValue: 1 << 1)
static let fixClimate = MyOptionSet(rawValue: 1 << 2)
static let exploreSpace = MyOptionSet(rawValue: 1 << 3)
}
extension MyOptionSet: CustomStringConvertible {
static var debugDescriptions: [(Self, String)] = [
(.healthcare, "healthcare"),
(.worldPeace, "world peace"),
(.fixClimate, "fix the climate"),
(.exploreSpace, "explore space")
]
var description: String {
let result: [String] = Self.debugDescriptions.filter { contains($0.0) }.map { $0.1 }
return "MyOptionSet(rawValue: \(self.rawValue)) \(result)"
}
}
var myOptionSet: MyOptionSet = []
myOptionSet.insert(.healthcare)
print("here is my options: \(myOptionSet)")
