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
    }
}

更新到Swift 2.2+

func iterateEnum<T: Hashable>(_: T.Type) -> AnyGenerator<T> {
    var i = 0
    return AnyGenerator {
        let next = withUnsafePointer(&i) {
            UnsafePointer<T>($0).memory
        }
        if next.hashValue == i {
            i += 1
            return next
        } else {
            return nil
        }
    }
}

它更新了Swift 2.2表单@Kametrixom的答案

Swift 3.0+(非常感谢@Philip)

func iterateEnum<T: Hashable>(_: T.Type) -> AnyIterator<T> {
    var i = 0
    return AnyIterator {
        let next = withUnsafePointer(&i) {
            UnsafePointer<T>($0).pointee
        }
        if next.hashValue == i {
            i += 1
            return next
        } else {
            return nil
        }
    }
}

这看起来像一个黑客，但如果你使用原始值，你可以这样做

enum Suit: Int {  
    case Spades = 0, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs  
 ...  
}  

var suitIndex = 0  
while var suit = Suit.fromRaw(suitIndex++) {  
   ...  
}  

另一个解决方案:

enum Suit: String {
    case spades = "♠"
    case hearts = "♥"
    case diamonds = "♦"
    case clubs = "♣"

    static var count: Int {
        return 4   
    }

    init(index: Int) {
        switch index {
            case 0: self = .spades
            case 1: self = .hearts
            case 2: self = .diamonds
            default: self = .clubs
        }
    }
}

for i in 0..<Suit.count {
    print(Suit(index: i).rawValue)
}

你可以试着像这样列举

enum Planet: String {
    case Mercury
    case Venus
    case Earth
    case Mars

    static var enumerate: [Planet] {
        var a: [Planet] = []
        switch Planet.Mercury {
            case .Mercury: a.append(.Mercury); fallthrough
            case .Venus: a.append(.Venus); fallthrough
            case .Earth: a.append(.Earth); fallthrough
            case .Mars: a.append(.Mars)
        }
    return a
    }
}

Planet.enumerate // [Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars]

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
    }
}
