Asked: May 16, 20262026-05-16T23:04:03+00:00 2026-05-16T23:04:03+00:00

Let me make this clear, I have this enum: enum Token { Number(v:Float); Identifier(v:String);

  • 0

Let me make this clear, I have this enum:

enum Token {
    Number(v:Float);
    Identifier(v:String);
    TString(v:String);
    Var;
    Assign;
    Division;
    // and so on
}

I want to check if the value of a variable is an Identifier, but this doesn’t work:

if(tk == Token.Identifier) {

It only allows me to compare the values if I pass arguments:

if(tk == Token.Identifier('test')) {

But this will only match if the identifier is ‘test’, but I want to match any identifier.

    Type.enumConstructor(tk) == "Identifier"
    

    Read the Type doc for more methods on enum.


    Update (2019-02-04):

    At the time of writing this answer it was still Haxe 2.06. Much have changed since then.

    At this moment, for Haxe 3 (or 4), I would recommend pattern matching, specifically using single pattern check instead:

    if (tk.match(Identifier(_)) ...
    

    which is a short hand for

    if (switch tk { case Identifier(_): true; case _: false; }) ...
    

    _ is the wildcard that matches anything.
