Question

In myObject.h:

typedef enum {
    GET,
    POST
} HTTPMethods;

And then inside the @interface definition, a property:

@property (nonatomic) HTTPMethods *httpMethod;

In myClass.m, I have the #import of myObject.h and then:

myObject *obj = [[myObject alloc] init];
obj.httpMethod = POST;

This seems to work, but the compiler yells at me:

`Incompatible integer to pointer conversion assigning to 'HTTPMethods *' from 'int'.

Where am I going wrong here?

Answer 1

An enum is a built-in type, and not an object. As such, you probably want to store the integral value itself and not a pointer.

@property (nonatomic, assign) HTTPMethods httpMethod;
