How do I make an enum Decodable in swift 4?

Question

enum PostType: Decodable {

    init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {

        // What do i put here?
    }

    case Image
    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case image
    }
}

What do i put to complete this? Also, lets say i changed the case to this:

case image(value: Int)

How do i make this conform to Decodable ?

EDit Here is my full code (which does not work)

let jsonData = """
{
    "count": 4
}
""".data(using: .utf8)!

        do {
            let decoder = JSONDecoder()
            let response = try decoder.decode(PostType.self, from: jsonData)

            print(response)
        } catch {
            print(error)
        }
    }
}

enum PostType: Int, Codable {
    case count = 4
}

Final Edit Also, how will it handle an enum like this?

enum PostType: Decodable {
    case count(number: Int)
}

Answer 1

It's pretty easy, just use String or Int raw values which are implicitly assigned.

enum PostType: Int, Codable {
    case image, blob
}

image is encoded to 0 and blob to 1

Or

enum PostType: String, Codable {
    case image, blob
}

image is encoded to "image" and blob to "blob"

This is a simple example how to use it:

enum PostType : Int, Codable {
    case count = 4
}

struct Post : Codable {
    var type : PostType
}

let jsonString = "{"type": 4}"

let jsonData = Data(jsonString.utf8)

do {
    let decoded = try JSONDecoder().decode(Post.self, from: jsonData)
    print("decoded:", decoded.type)
} catch {
    print(error)
}
