Override valueof() and toString() in Java enum

Question

The values in my enum are words that need to have spaces in them, but enums can\'t have spaces in their values so it\'s all bunched up. I want to override

Answer 1

How about a Java 8 implementation? (null can be replaced by your default Enum)

public static RandomEnum getEnum(String value) {
    return Arrays.stream(RandomEnum.values()).filter(m -> m.value.equals(value)).findAny().orElse(null);
}

Or you could use:

...findAny().orElseThrow(NotFoundException::new);
