Dart: Enum to String to Enum

Serialise/Deserialise Dart’s enum with JSON?

String To Enum: In Dart any Object can get converted in String Using toString(). If we convert a enum to string we get somthing “ClassNameOfEnum.valueNameOfEnum”. we can simply spilt string with “.” and map with string to get valid enum. This can be done as following:

extension EnumParser on String {
  T toEnum<T>(List<T> values) {
    return values.firstWhere(
        (e) => e.toString().toLowerCase().split(".").last == '$this'.toLowerCase(),
        orElse: () => null); //return null if not found
  }
}

Enum to String:

This is very simple.

enum Number {
  ONE,
  TWO,
  THREE
}
Number num = "ONE"
String stringNumber = num.toString().split(".").last;
