Iterate enumerated class instances

Question

Is there a simple way to iterate over all enumerated instances of a class in Ceylon?

Just like values() for Java enums?

abstract class Suit(         


        

Answer 1

This can be done now with ClassOrInterface.caseValues:

Suit[] suits = `Suit`.caseValues;

Regarding the returned sequence:

This sequence is ordered and skips any case type to only include case values.

Answer 2

One way is to use the metamodel:

for (caseType in `class Suit`.caseTypes) {
    assert (is OpenClassOrInterfaceType caseType);
    print(caseType.declaration.name);
}
