How to get all values of an enum in swift [duplicate]

Question

Is there a way to get all values of an enum in an array?

Let's say I have the following code:

enum Suit {     case Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs } 

Is there a method to get the following array?

[Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs]

I don't know if there is a method to do that. It's a really good question, hope someone will find another way much generic that mine. Anyways, I've done something that do the trick:

Here the enum:

// SuitCount is the last one, so the total of elements (used) is SuitCount-1 enum Suit: Int {     case Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, SuitCount } 

The function that return the values:

func getValueFromSuitAtIndex(#indexOfElement: Int) -> String {       var value = ""       switch indexOfElement {      case 0:         value = "Spades"      case 1:         value = "Hearts"      case 2:         value = "Diamonds"      case 3:         value = "Clubs"      default:         value = ""      }          return value } 

And in another function, where ever you want:

var suitElements = String[]() for index in 0...Suit.SuitCount.toRaw()-1 {     suitElements.append(self.getValueFromSuitAtIndex(indexOfElement: index)) } // suitElements printed is: [Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs] println(suitElements) 

Not really sure it's what you want, but hope that helps a bit.
