Enums

An enum may contain many types including other enums.

{{#include ../../../code/language/style-guide/enum_style/src/lib.sw:style_enums}}

Encouraged

The preferred way to use enums is to use the individual (not nested) enums directly because they are easy to follow and the lines are short:

{{#include ../../../code/language/style-guide/enum_style/src/lib.sw:use}}

Discouraged

If you wish to use the nested form of enums via the Error enum from the example above, then you can instantiate them into variables using the following syntax:

{{#include ../../../code/language/style-guide/enum_style/src/lib.sw:avoid}}

Key points to note:

• You must import all of the enums i.e. Error, StateError & UserError
• The lines may get unnecessarily long (depending on the names)
• The syntax is unergonomic
