This class provides advanced methods on enums. It is ideally used with using EnumTools and then acts as an extension to the enum types.

If the first argument to any of the methods is null, the result is unspecified.

Static methods

staticinlinecreateAll<T> (e:Enum<T>):Array<T>

Returns a list of all constructors of enum e that require no arguments.

This may return the empty Array [] if all constructors of e require arguments.

Otherwise an instance of e constructed through each of its non- argument constructors is returned, in the order of the constructor declaration.

If e is null, the result is unspecified.

staticinlinecreateByIndex<T> (e:Enum<T>, index:Int, ?params:Array<Dynamic>):T

Creates an instance of enum e by calling its constructor number index with arguments params.

The constructor indices are preserved from Haxe syntax, so the first declared is index 0, the next index 1 etc.

If e or index is null, or if enum e has no constructor corresponding to index index, or if the number of elements in params does not match the expected number of constructor arguments, or if any argument has an invalid type, the result is unspecified.

staticinlinecreateByName<T> (e:Enum<T>, constr:String, ?params:Array<Dynamic>):T

Creates an instance of enum e by calling its constructor constr with arguments params.

If e or constr is null, or if enum e has no constructor named constr, or if the number of elements in params does not match the expected number of constructor arguments, or if any argument has an invalid type, the result is unspecified.

staticinlinegetConstructors<T> (e:Enum<T>):Array<String>

Returns a list of the names of all constructors of enum e.

The order of the constructor names in the returned Array is preserved from the original syntax.

If c is null, the result is unspecified.

staticinlinegetName<T> (e:Enum<T>):String

Returns the name of enum e, including its path.

If e is inside a package, the package structure is returned dot- separated, with another dot separating the enum name:

pack1.pack2.(...).packN.EnumName

If e is a sub-type of a Haxe module, that module is not part of the package structure.

If e has no package, the enum name is returned.

If e is null, the result is unspecified.

The enum name does not include any type parameters.
