Sorry for the delay; it took me a while to figure out why the line of code with
addObserverForName was giving wonderfully helpful errors like “‘String’ is not
convertible to ‘StringLiteralConvertible’” (grumble grumble).
Anyway, what you want may be possible via a protocol extension:
import Foundation
protocol PostableEnum {
func post()
var rawValue: String { get }
}
extension PostableEnum {
func post() {
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName(self.rawValue,
object: nil)
}
}
enum SomeEnum : String, PostableEnum {
case Foo = "Foo"
}
let someEnum = SomeEnum.Foo
let foo = NSObject()
let observer = NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserverForName("Foo",
object: nil, queue: nil) { _ in
print("notification received")
}
someEnum.post()
CFRunLoopRun()
