You can extend your Codable
Type and assign a default value in case of failure:
enum Type: String {
case text,
image,
document,
profile,
sign,
inputDate = "input_date",
inputText = "input_text" ,
inputNumber = "input_number",
inputOption = "input_option",
unknown
}
extension Type: Codable {
public init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
self = try Type(rawValue: decoder.singleValueContainer().decode(RawValue.self)) ?? .unknown
}
}
edit/update:
Xcode 11.2 • Swift 5.1 or later
Create a protocol that defaults to last case of a CaseIterable & Decodable
enumeration:
protocol CaseIterableDefaultsLast: Decodable & CaseIterable & RawRepresentable
where RawValue: Decodable, AllCases: BidirectionalCollection { }
extension CaseIterableDefaultsLast {
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
self = try Self(rawValue: decoder.singleValueContainer().decode(RawValue.self)) ?? Self.allCases.last!
}
}
Playground testing:
enum Type: String, CaseIterableDefaultsLast {
case text, image, document, profile, sign, inputDate = "input_date", inputText = "input_text" , inputNumber = "input_number", inputOption = "input_option", unknown
}
let types = try! JSONDecoder().decode([Type].self , from: Data(#"["text","image","sound"]"#.utf8)) // [text, image, unknown]
