如果你给枚举一个原始的Int值，它将使循环更容易。

例如，你可以使用anyGenerator来获得一个可以枚举你的值的生成器:

enum Suit: Int, CustomStringConvertible {
    case Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs
    var description: String {
        switch self {
        case .Spades:   return "Spades"
        case .Hearts:   return "Hearts"
        case .Diamonds: return "Diamonds"
        case .Clubs:    return "Clubs"
        }
    }
    static func enumerate() -> AnyGenerator<Suit> {
        var nextIndex = Spades.rawValue
        return anyGenerator { Suit(rawValue: nextIndex++) }
    }
}
// You can now use it like this:
for suit in Suit.enumerate() {
    suit.description
}
// or like this:
let allSuits: [Suit] = Array(Suit.enumerate())

然而，这看起来像一个相当常见的模式，如果我们可以通过简单地遵循协议使任何枚举类型可枚举，这不是很好吗?有了Swift 2.0和协议扩展，现在我们可以了!

简单地添加到你的项目:

protocol EnumerableEnum {
    init?(rawValue: Int)
    static func firstValue() -> Int
}
extension EnumerableEnum {
    static func enumerate() -> AnyGenerator<Self> {
        var nextIndex = firstRawValue()
        return anyGenerator { Self(rawValue: nextIndex++) }
    }
    static func firstRawValue() -> Int { return 0 }
}

现在，任何时候你创建一个枚举(只要它有一个Int原始值)，你可以通过遵循协议使它可枚举:

enum Rank: Int, EnumerableEnum {
    case Ace, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Jack, Queen, King
}
// ...
for rank in Rank.enumerate() { ... }

如果你的枚举值不以0开头(默认值)，重写firstRawValue方法:

enum DeckColor: Int, EnumerableEnum {
    case Red = 10, Blue, Black
    static func firstRawValue() -> Int { return Red.rawValue }
}
// ...
let colors = Array(DeckColor.enumerate())

最后一个Suit类，包括用更标准的CustomStringConvertible协议替换simpleDescription，看起来像这样:

enum Suit: Int, CustomStringConvertible, EnumerableEnum {
    case Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs
    var description: String {
        switch self {
        case .Spades:   return "Spades"
        case .Hearts:   return "Hearts"
        case .Diamonds: return "Diamonds"
        case .Clubs:    return "Clubs"
        }
    }
}
// ...
for suit in Suit.enumerate() {
    print(suit.description)
}

Swift 3语法:

protocol EnumerableEnum {
    init?(rawValue: Int)
    static func firstRawValue() -> Int
}

extension EnumerableEnum {
    static func enumerate() -> AnyIterator<Self> {
        var nextIndex = firstRawValue()

        let iterator: AnyIterator<Self> = AnyIterator {
            defer { nextIndex = nextIndex + 1 }
            return Self(rawValue: nextIndex)
        }

        return iterator
    }

    static func firstRawValue() -> Int {
        return 0
    }
}

这篇文章是相关的https://www.swift-studies.com/blog/2014/6/10/enumerating-enums-in-swift

基本上，提议的解决方案是

enum ProductCategory : String {
     case Washers = "washers", Dryers = "dryers", Toasters = "toasters"

     static let allValues = [Washers, Dryers, Toasters]
}

for category in ProductCategory.allValues{
     //Do something
}

原则上，如果你不为enum的大小写使用原始值赋值，这样做是可能的:

enum RankEnum: Int {
  case Ace
  case One
  case Two
}

class RankEnumGenerator: Generator {
    var i = 0
    typealias Element = RankEnum
    func next() -> Element? {
        let r = RankEnum.fromRaw(i)
        i += 1
        return r
    }
}

extension RankEnum {
    static func enumerate() -> SequenceOf<RankEnum> {
        return SequenceOf<RankEnum>({ RankEnumGenerator() })
    }
}

for r in RankEnum.enumerate() {
    println("\(r.toRaw())")
}

我添加了函数count()，并迭代值:

public enum MetricType: Int {
    case mvps = 0
    case allNBA = 1
    case championshipRings = 2
    case finalAppearances = 3
    case gamesPlayed = 4
    case ppg = 5

    static func count() -> Int {
        return (ppg.rawValue) + 1
    }

    static var allValues: [MetricType] {
        var array: [MetricType] = Array()
        var item : MetricType = MetricType.mvps
        while item.rawValue < MetricType.count() {
            array.append(item)
            item = MetricType(rawValue: (item.rawValue + 1))!
        }
    return array
    }
}

在Swift 3中，当底层枚举有rawValue时，你可以实现Strideable协议。优点是不像其他建议那样创建值数组，并且标准的Swift“for in”循环工作，这是一个很好的语法。

// "Int" to get rawValue, and Strideable so we can iterate
enum MyColorEnum: Int, Strideable {
    case Red
    case Green
    case Blue
    case Black

    // required by Strideable
    typealias Stride = Int

    func advanced(by n:Stride) -> MyColorEnum {
        var next = self.rawValue + n
        if next > MyColorEnum.Black.rawValue {
            next = MyColorEnum.Black.rawValue
        }
        return MyColorEnum(rawValue: next)!
    }

    func distance(to other: MyColorEnum) -> Int {
        return other.rawValue - self.rawValue
    }

    // just for printing
    func simpleDescription() -> String {
        switch self {
        case .Red: return "Red"
        case .Green: return "Green"
        case .Blue: return "Blue"
        case .Black: return "Black"
        }
    }
}

// this is how you use it:
for i in MyColorEnum.Red ... MyColorEnum.Black {
    print("ENUM: \(i)")
}

该解决方案在可读性和可维护性之间取得了适当的平衡。

struct Card {

    // ...

    static func deck() -> Card[] {
        var deck = Card[]()
        for rank in Rank.Ace.toRaw()...Rank.King.toRaw() {
            for suit in [Suit.Spades, .Hearts, .Clubs, .Diamonds] {
                let card = Card(rank: Rank.fromRaw(rank)!, suit: suit)
                deck.append(card)
            }
        }
    return deck
    }
}

let deck = Card.deck()
