If magic_enum used on unsupported compiler, occurs the compilation error. To suppress error define macro `MAGIC_ENUM_NO_CHECK_SUPPORT`. * To add custom enum or type names see the [example](../example/example_custom_name.cpp). * To change the type of strings or optional, use special macros: ```cpp #include #include #define MAGIC_ENUM_USING_ALIAS_STRING using string = my_lib::String; #define MAGIC_ENUM_USING_ALIAS_STRING_VIEW using string_view = my_lib::StringView; #define MAGIC_ENUM_USING_ALIAS_OPTIONAL template using optional = my_lib::Optional; #include ``` * Optionally define `MAGIC_ENUM_CONFIG_FILE` i.e., in your build system, with path to header file with defined macros or constants, for example: ```cpp #define MAGIC_ENUM_CONFIG_FILE "my_magic_enum_cfg.hpp" ``` my_magic_enum_cfg.hpp: ```cpp #include #include #define MAGIC_ENUM_USING_ALIAS_STRING using string = my_lib::String; #define MAGIC_ENUM_USING_ALIAS_STRING_VIEW using string_view = my_lib::StringView; #define MAGIC_ENUM_USING_ALIAS_OPTIONAL template using optional = my_lib::Optional; #define MAGIC_ENUM_RANGE_MIN 0 #define MAGIC_ENUM_RANGE_MAX 255 ``` ## `enum_cast` ```cpp template constexpr optional enum_cast(underlying_type_t value) noexcept; template constexpr optional enum_cast(string_view value) noexcept; template constexpr optional enum_cast(string_view value, BinaryPredicate p) noexcept(is_nothrow_invocable_v); ``` * Obtains enum value from string or integer. * Returns `optional`, using `has_value()` to check contains enum value and `value()` to get the enum value. * If argument does not enum value, returns empty `optional`. * Examples * String to enum value. ```cpp string color_name{"GREEN"}; auto color = magic_enum::enum_cast(color_name); if (color.has_value()) { // color.value() -> Color::GREEN } // case insensitive enum_cast auto color = magic_enum::enum_cast(value, magic_enum::case_insensitive); // enum_cast with BinaryPredicate auto color = magic_enum::enum_cast(value, [](char lhs, char rhs) { return std::tolower(lhs) == std::tolower(rhs); } // enum_cast with default auto color_or_default = magic_enum::enum_cast(value).value_or(Color::NONE); ``` * Integer to enum value. ```cpp int color_integer = 2; auto color = magic_enum::enum_cast(color_integer); if (color.has_value()) { // color.value() -> Color::RED } auto color_or_default = magic_enum::enum_cast(value).value_or(Color::NONE); ``` ## `enum_value` ```cpp template constexpr E enum_value(size_t index) noexcept; template constexpr E enum_value() noexcept; ``` * Returns enum value at specified index. * `enum_value(value)` no bounds checking is performed: the behavior is undefined if `index >= number of enum values`. * `enum_value()` check if `I >= number of enum values`, occurs the compilation error `magic_enum::enum_value out of range`. * Examples ```cpp int i = 1; Color color = magic_enum::enum_value(i); // color -> Color::BLUE ``` ```cpp Color color = magic_enum::enum_value(); // color -> Color::BLUE ``` ## `enum_values` ```cpp template constexpr array enum_values() noexcept; ``` * Returns `array` with all enum values where `N = number of enum values`, sorted by enum value. * Examples ```cpp constexpr auto colors = magic_enum::enum_values(); // colors -> {Color::RED, Color::BLUE, Color::GREEN} // colors[0] -> Color::RED ``` ## `enum_count` ```cpp template constexpr size_t enum_count() noexcept; ``` * Returns number of enum values. * Examples ```cpp constexpr auto color_count = magic_enum::enum_count(); // color_count -> 3 ``` ## `enum_integer` ```cpp template constexpr underlying_type_t enum_integer(E value) noexcept; template constexpr underlying_type_t enum_underlying(E value) noexcept; ``` * Returns integer value from enum value. * Examples ```cpp Color color = Color::RED; auto color_integer = magic_enum::enum_integer(color); // color -> 2 ``` ## `enum_name` ```cpp template constexpr string_view enum_name(E value) noexcept; template constexpr string_view enum_name() noexcept; ``` * Returns name from enum value as `string_view` with null-terminated string. * If enum value does not have name or [out of range](limitations.md), `enum_name(value)` returns empty string. * If enum value does not have name, `enum_name()` occurs the compilation error `magic_enum::enum_name enum value does not have a name`. * `enum_name()` is much lighter on the compile times and is not restricted to the enum_range [limitation](limitations.md). * Examples ```cpp Color color = Color::RED; auto color_name = magic_enum::enum_name(color); // color_name -> "RED" ``` ```cpp constexpr Color color = Color::BLUE; constexpr auto color_name = magic_enum::enum_name(); // color_name -> "BLUE" ``` ## `enum_names` ```cpp template constexpr array enum_names() noexcept; ``` * Returns `array` with all names where `N = number of enum values`, sorted by enum value. * Examples ```cpp constexpr auto color_names = magic_enum::enum_names(); // color_names -> {"RED", "BLUE", "GREEN"} // color_names[0] -> "RED" ``` ## `enum_entries` ```cpp template constexpr array, N> enum_entries() noexcept; ``` * Returns `array, N>` with all pairs (value, name) where `N = number of enum values`, sorted by enum value. * Examples ```cpp constexpr auto color_entries = magic_enum::enum_entries(); // color_entries -> {{Color::RED, "RED"}, {Color::BLUE, "BLUE"}, {Color::GREEN, "GREEN"}} // color_entries[0].first -> Color::RED // color_entries[0].second -> "RED" ``` ## `enum_index` ```cpp template constexpr optional enum_index(E value) noexcept; template constexpr size_t enum_index() noexcept; ``` * Obtains index in enum values from enum value. * `enum_index(value)` returns `optional` with index. * `enum_index()` returns index. If enum value does not have a index, occurs the compilation error `magic_enum::enum_index enum value does not have a index`. * Examples ```cpp constexpr auto color_index = magic_enum::enum_index(Color::BLUE); // color_index.value() -> 1 // color_index.has_value() -> true ``` ```cpp constexpr auto color_index = magic_enum::enum_index(); // color_index -> 1 ``` ## `enum_contains` ```cpp template constexpr bool enum_contains(E value) noexcept; template constexpr bool enum_contains(underlying_type_t value) noexcept; template constexpr bool enum_contains(string_view value) noexcept; template constexpr bool enum_contains(string_view value, BinaryPredicate p) noexcept(is_nothrow_invocable_v); ``` * Checks whether enum contains enumerator with such value. * Returns true is enum contains value, otherwise false. * Examples ```cpp magic_enum::enum_contains(Color::GREEN); // -> true magic_enum::enum_contains(2); // -> true magic_enum::enum_contains(123); // -> false magic_enum::enum_contains("GREEN"); // -> true magic_enum::enum_contains("fda"); // -> false ``` ## `enum_type_name` ```cpp template constexpr string_view enum_type_name() noexcept; ``` * Returns type name of enum as `string_view` null-terminated string. * Examples ```cpp Color color = Color::RED; auto type_name = magic_enum::enum_type_name(); // type_name -> "Color" ``` ## `enum_fuse` ```cpp template constexpr optional enum_fuse(Es... values) noexcept; ``` * You should add the required file ``. * Returns a typesafe bijective mix of several enum values. This can be used to emulate 2D switch/case statements. * Return type is `optional` where `enum_fuse_t` is an incomplete enum, it is unique for any given combination of `Es...`. * Switch/case statement over an incomplete enum is a Visual Studio warning C4064 * You have to silent (/wd4064) or ignore it. * Alternatively, define `MAGIC_ENUM_NO_TYPESAFE_ENUM_FUSE` to disable type-safety (`enum_fuse_t` equals `uintmax_t`). * Examples ```cpp switch (magic_enum::enum_fuse(color, direction).value()) { case magic_enum::enum_fuse(Color::RED, Directions::Up).value(): // ... case magic_enum::enum_fuse(Color::BLUE, Directions::Down).value(): // ... case magic_enum::enum_fuse(Directions::BLUE, Color::Down).value(): // Compilation error // ... } ``` ## `enum_switch` ```cpp template constexpr Result enum_switch(Lambda&& lambda, E value); template constexpr Result enum_switch(Lambda&& lambda, E value, Result&& result); ``` * You should add the required file ``. * Examples ```cpp Color color = Color::RED; magic_enum::enum_switch([] (auto val) { constexpr Color c_color = val; // ... }, color); ``` ## `enum_for_each` ```cpp template constexpr auto enum_for_each(Lambda&& lambda); ``` * Examples ```cpp underlying_type_t sum{}; enum_for_each([&sum](auto val) { constexpr underlying_type_t v = enum_integer(val()); sum += v; }); ``` ## `enum_flags` ```cpp template string enum_flags_name(E value); template constexpr optional enum_flags_cast(underlying_type_t value) noexcept; template constexpr optional enum_flags_cast(string_view value) noexcept; template constexpr optional enum_flags_cast(string_view value, BinaryPredicate p) noexcept(is_nothrow_invocable_v); template constexpr bool enum_flags_contains(E value) noexcept; template constexpr bool enum_flags_contains(underlying_type_t value) noexcept; template constexpr bool enum_flags_contains(string_view value) noexcept; template constexpr bool enum_flags_contains(string_view value, BinaryPredicate p) noexcept(is_nothrow_invocable_v); ``` * You should add the required file ``. * Examples ```cpp enum Directions : std::uint64_t { Left = 1, Down = 2, Up = 4, Right = 8, }; template <> struct magic_enum::customize::enum_range { static constexpr bool is_flags = true; }; magic_enum::enum_flags_name(Directions::Up | Directions::Right); // directions_name -> "Directions::Up|Directions::Right" magic_enum::enum_flags_contains(Directions::Up | Directions::Right); // -> true magic_enum::enum_flags_cast(3); // -> "Directions::Left|Directions::Down" magic_enum::enum_flags_test(Left|Down, Down); // -> "true" magic_enum::enum_flags_test(Left|Down, Right); // -> "false" magic_enum::enum_flags_test_any(Left|Down|Right, Down|Right); // -> "true" ``` ## `is_unscoped_enum` ```cpp template struct is_unscoped_enum; template inline constexpr bool is_unscoped_enum_v = is_unscoped_enum::value; ``` * Checks whether type is an [Unscoped enumeration](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/enum#Unscoped_enumeration). * Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is an [Unscoped enumeration](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/enum#Unscoped_enumeration) type.
Otherwise, value is equal to false. * Examples ```cpp magic_enum::is_unscoped_enum::value -> true magic_enum::is_unscoped_enum::value -> false // Helper variable template. magic_enum::is_unscoped_enum_v -> true ``` ## `is_scoped_enum` ```cpp template struct is_scoped_enum; template inline constexpr bool is_scoped_enum_v = is_scoped_enum::value; ``` * Checks whether type is an [Scoped enumeration](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/enum#Scoped_enumerations). * Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is an [Scoped enumeration](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/enum#Scoped_enumerations) type.
Otherwise, value is equal to false. * Examples ```cpp magic_enum::is_scoped_enum::value -> false magic_enum::is_scoped_enum::value -> true // Helper variable template. magic_enum::is_scoped_enum_v -> true ``` ## `underlying_type` ```cpp template struct underlying_type; template using underlying_type_t = typename underlying_type::type; ``` * Improved UB-free "SFINAE-friendly" [underlying_type](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/underlying_type). * If T is a complete enumeration type, provides a member typedef type that names the underlying type of T.
Otherwise, if T is not an enumeration type, there is no member type.
Otherwise (T is an incomplete enumeration type), the program is ill-formed. * Examples ```cpp magic_enum::underlying_type::type -> int // Helper types. magic_enum::underlying_type_t -> int ``` ## `ostream_operators` ```cpp template basic_ostream& operator<<(basic_ostream& os, E value); template basic_ostream& operator<<(basic_ostream& os, optional value); ``` * You should add the required file ``. * Out-of-the-box ostream operators for all enums. * Examples ```cpp using namespace magic_enum::ostream_operators; // out-of-the-box ostream operators for enums. Color color = Color::BLUE; std::cout << color << std::endl; // "BLUE" ``` ## `istream_operators` ```cpp template basic_istream& operator>>(basic_istream& is, E& value); ``` * You should add the required file ``. * Out-of-the-box istream operators for all enums. * Examples ```cpp using namespace magic_enum::istream_operators; // out-of-the-box istream operators for enums. Color color; std::cin >> color; ``` ## `bitwise_operators` ```cpp template constexpr E operator~(E rhs) noexcept; template constexpr E operator|(E lhs, E rhs) noexcept; template constexpr E operator&(E lhs, E rhs) noexcept; template constexpr E operator^(E lhs, E rhs) noexcept; template constexpr E& operator|=(E& lhs, E rhs) noexcept; template constexpr E& operator&=(E& lhs, E rhs) noexcept; template constexpr E& operator^=(E& lhs, E rhs) noexcept; ``` * Out-of-the-box bitwise operators for all enums. * Examples ```cpp enum class Flags { A = 1 << 0, B = 1 << 1, C = 1 << 2, D = 1 << 3 }; using namespace magic_enum::bitwise_operators; // out-of-the-box bitwise operators for enums. // Support operators: ~, |, &, ^, |=, &=, ^=. Flags flags = Flags::A | Flags::B & ~Flags::C; ``` ## `containers::array` ```cpp template > struct array { constexpr reference at(E pos); constexpr const_reference at(E pos) const; constexpr reference operator[](E pos) noexcept;
