init(rawValue:)

Deprecated

Will be removed from public API

init?(rawValue: UInt8)

Parameters

rawValue

The raw value to use for the new instance.

Discussion

If there is no value of the type that corresponds with the specified raw value, this initializer returns nil. For example:

enum PaperSize: String {
    case A4, A5, Letter, Legal
}

print(PaperSize(rawValue: "Legal"))
// Prints "Optional(PaperSize.Legal)"

print(PaperSize(rawValue: "Tabloid"))
// Prints "nil"
