Enumeration ¶

Pure-lua Enumeration implementation that function identically to Roblox Enums, except one may declare their own. Enumerations are a set of named reference constants for when a value must be a discrete value from a list. For example:

local Enumeration = Resources:LoadLibrary("Enumeration")

Enumeration.ButtonType = {"Custom", "Flat", "Raised"}
Enumeration.SelectionControllerType = {"Checkbox", "Radio", "Switch"}

local Radio = Enumeration.SelectionControllerType.Radio

print(Radio)
print(Radio.EnumerationType)
print(Radio.Name)
print(Radio.Value)

> Enumeration.SelectionControllerType.Radio
> SelectionControllerType
> Radio
> 1

Enumerations have a Value equal to their index in the declarative array minus one:

Enumeration.ButtonType = {	"Custom"	"Flat"	"Raised"	}
	0	1	2

In this implementation, we use Enumeration in the places where Roblox uses Enum:

print("All Roblox Enums:")
for i, EnumType in ipairs(Enum:GetEnums()) do
    print(i, EnumType)
    for j, EnumName in ipairs(EnumType:GetEnumItems()) do
        print("   ", j, EnumName)
    end
end

print("All RoStrap Enumerations:")
for i, EnumerationType in ipairs(Enumeration:GetEnumerations()) do
    print(i, EnumerationType)
    for j, EnumName in ipairs(EnumerationType:GetEnumerationItems()) do
        print("   ", j, EnumName)
    end
end
