Equality on Objective-C typedef enum in Swift

Question

I\'m working with the Facebook Objective-C SDK in Swift and I\'m trying to compare an FBSessionState value with a value from the enum. However I get the compiler error:

Answer 1

You could unwrap the enum and constants with '.value' to get the underlying integer, which should be switchable:

switch x.value {
  case Foo.value:
}

Maybe this is a bug and apple fix it in future releases.

Answer 2

Swift automatically maps Obj-C enums to its own style of enumName.caseName structure. For example, if the enum is named FBSessionState and there is the FBSessionStateOpen case, it will map as FBSessionState.Open in Swift.

The == operator will work for comparing Swift enums.

Answer 3

With the Beta4 update, the .value workaround no longer works. There doesn't seem to be another easy workaround without changing Facebook's SDK.

I changed all the Facebook enums to use the NS_ENUM macro, so that you can use Swift syntax the enums.

if FBSession.activeSession().state == .CreatedTokenLoaded

These changes were merged into pgaspar's Facebook fork, which includes other fixes for Swift compatibility.

Adding to Nikolai Nagorny's answer, this is what worked for me:

if (device.deviceType.value == TYPE_BLUETOOTHNA.value)
