有时，您可能会处理具有底层原始整数类型的枚举类型，这种类型在整个软件开发生命周期中都会发生变化。下面是一个很适合这种情况的例子:

public class MyClassThatLoadsTexturesEtc
{
    //...

    // Colors used for gems and sectors.
    public enum Color: Int
    {
        // Colors arranged in order of the spectrum.
        case First = 0
        case Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink
        // --> Add more colors here, between the first and last markers.
        case Last
    }

    //...

    public func preloadGems()
    {
        // Preload all gems.
        for i in (Color.First.toRaw() + 1) ..< (Color.Last.toRaw())
        {
            let color = Color.fromRaw(i)!
            loadColoredTextures(forKey: color)
        }
    }

    //...
}

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++) {  
   ...  
}  

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
    }
}

对不起，我的回答是具体到我如何在我需要做的事情中使用这篇文章。对于那些无意中遇到这个问题的人，寻找一种方法在枚举中找到一个case，这是一种方法(Swift 2新增):

编辑:小写驼峰现在是Swift 3 enum值的标准

// From apple docs: If the raw-value type is specified as String and you don’t assign values to the cases explicitly, each unassigned case is implicitly assigned a string with the same text as the name of that case.

enum Theme: String
    {
    case white, blue, green, lavender, grey
    }

func loadTheme(theme: String)
    {
    // this checks the string against the raw value of each enum case (note that the check could result in a nil value, since it's an optional, which is why we introduce the if/let block
    if let testTheme = Theme(rawValue: theme)
        {
        // testTheme is guaranteed to have an enum value at this point
        self.someOtherFunction(testTheme)
        }
    }

对于那些对枚举感到疑惑的人来说，本页上给出的答案包括一个包含所有枚举值的数组的静态var/let是正确的。最新的苹果tvOS示例代码包含了完全相同的技术。

也就是说，他们应该在语言中构建一个更方便的机制(苹果，你在听吗?)

它花了我一点，而不仅仅是一个方法在结构像swift书调用，但我在枚举中设置了下一个函数。我会使用一个协议，我不知道为什么，但有秩设置为int混乱。

enum Rank: Int {
    case Ace = 1
    case Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten
    case Jack, Queen, King
    func simpleDescription() -> String {
        switch self {
        case .Ace:
            return "ace"
        case .Jack:
            return "jack"
        case .Queen:
            return "Queen"
        case .King:
            return "King"
        default:
            return String(self.toRaw())
        }
    }
    mutating func next() -> Rank {
        var rank = self
        var rawrank = rank.toRaw()
        var nrank: Rank = self
        rawrank = rawrank + 1
        if let newRank = Rank.fromRaw(rawrank) {
            println("\(newRank.simpleDescription())")
            nrank = newRank
        } else {
            return self
        }
        return nrank
    }
}

enum Suit {
    case Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs
    func color() -> String {
        switch self {
        case .Spades, .Clubs:
            return "black"
        default:
            return "red"
        }
    }
    func simpleDescription() -> String {
        switch self {
        case .Spades:
            return "spades"
        case .Hearts:
            return "hearts"
        case .Diamonds:
            return "diamonds"
        case .Clubs:
            return "clubs"
        }
    }
    mutating func next() -> Suit {
        switch self {
        case .Spades:
            return Hearts
        case .Hearts:
            return Diamonds
        case .Diamonds:
            return Clubs
        case .Clubs:
            return Spades
        }
    }
}

struct Card {
    var rank: Rank
    var suit: Suit
    func deck() -> Card[] {
        var tRank = self.rank
        var tSuit = self.suit
        let tcards = 52 // we start from 0
        var cards: Card[] = []
        for i in 0..tcards {
            var card = Card(rank: tRank, suit: tSuit)
            cards.append(card)
            tRank = tRank.next()
            tSuit = tSuit.next()
        }
        return cards
    }
    func simpleDescription() -> String {
        return "The \(rank.simpleDescription()) of \(suit.simpleDescription())"
    }
}

var card = Card(rank: .Ace, suit: .Spades)
var deck = card.deck()

我使用了一些常识，但这可以通过将花色乘以等级来轻松纠正(如果你没有使用标准的桥牌，你必须相应地改变枚举，如果基本上只是通过不同的枚举进行步骤)。为了节省时间，我使用了ranks rawValues，如果你愿意，你也可以为西装做同样的事情。然而，这个例子没有它，所以我决定在不改变suit rawValue的情况下找出它

您可以通过实现ForwardIndexType协议来迭代枚举。

ForwardIndexType协议要求您定义一个继任者()函数来逐级遍历元素。

enum Rank: Int, ForwardIndexType {
    case Ace = 1
    case Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten
    case Jack, Queen, King

    // ... other functions

    // Option 1 - Figure it out by hand
    func successor() -> Rank {
        switch self {
            case .Ace:
              return .Two
            case .Two:
              return .Three

            // ... etc.

            default:
              return .King
        }
    }

    // Option 2 - Define an operator!
    func successor() -> Rank {
        return self + 1
    }
}

// NOTE: The operator is defined OUTSIDE the class
func + (left: Rank, right: Int) -> Rank {
    // I'm using to/from raw here, but again, you can use a case statement
    // or whatever else you can think of

    return left == .King ? .King : Rank(rawValue: left.rawValue + right)!
}

在开或闭范围内迭代(..<或…)将在内部调用继任者()函数，允许你这样写:

// Under the covers, successor(Rank.King) and successor(Rank.Ace) are called to establish limits
for r in Rank.Ace...Rank.King {
    // Do something useful
}
