Override enum toString() in Kotlin?

Question

How to customize toString() method for enum in Kotlin?

enum class GuideType(type: String) {
    DEF_TYPE("default"),

    override fun toString(): String {
        return type // not working!
    }
}

Answer 1

Default constructor params need to be either var or val to be accessible outside the init block. Also you need to add semicolor after last enum item to add any new functions or overrides.

enum class GuideType(var type: String) {
    DEF_TYPE("default");

    override fun toString(): String {
        return type // working!
    }
}
