Auto-Equatable enums with associated values
Basics article available: EnumsThat the compiler now automatically synthesizes Equatable conformances is such a huge upgrade for Swift! And the cool thing is that it works for all kinds of types - even for enums with associated values! Especially useful when using enums for verification in unit tests.
struct Article: Equatable {
let title: String
let text: String
}
struct User: Equatable {
let name: String
let age: Int
}
extension Navigator {
enum Destination: Equatable {
case profile(User)
case article(Article)
}
}
func testNavigatingToArticle() {
let article = Article(title: "Title", text: "Text")
controller.select(article)
XCTAssertEqual(navigator.destinations, [.article(article)])
}
