Method Detail

getEnum

public static <E extends java.lang.Enum<E>> E getEnum(java.lang.Class<E> enumClass,
                                                      java.lang.String enumName)

Gets the enum for the class, returning null if not found.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that it does not throw an exception for an invalid enum name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

enumName - the enum name, null returns null

Returns:

the enum, null if not found

getEnum

public static <E extends java.lang.Enum<E>> E getEnum(java.lang.Class<E> enumClass,
                                                      java.lang.String enumName,
                                                      E defaultEnum)

Gets the enum for the class, returning defaultEnum if not found.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that it does not throw an exception for an invalid enum name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

enumName - the enum name, null returns default enum

defaultEnum - the default enum

Returns:

the enum, default enum if not found

Since:

3.10

getEnumIgnoreCase

public static <E extends java.lang.Enum<E>> E getEnumIgnoreCase(java.lang.Class<E> enumClass,
                                                                java.lang.String enumName)

Gets the enum for the class, returning null if not found.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that it does not throw an exception for an invalid enum name and performs case insensitive matching of the name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

enumName - the enum name, null returns null

Returns:

the enum, null if not found

Since:

3.8

getEnumIgnoreCase

public static <E extends java.lang.Enum<E>> E getEnumIgnoreCase(java.lang.Class<E> enumClass,
                                                                java.lang.String enumName,
                                                                E defaultEnum)

Gets the enum for the class, returning defaultEnum if not found.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that it does not throw an exception for an invalid enum name and performs case insensitive matching of the name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

enumName - the enum name, null returns default enum

defaultEnum - the default enum

Returns:

the enum, default enum if not found

Since:

3.10

getEnumList

public static <E extends java.lang.Enum<E>> java.util.List<E> getEnumList(java.lang.Class<E> enumClass)

Gets the List of enums.

This method is useful when you need a list of enums rather than an array.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

Returns:

the modifiable list of enums, never null

getEnumMap

public static <E extends java.lang.Enum<E>> java.util.Map<java.lang.String,E> getEnumMap(java.lang.Class<E> enumClass)

Gets the Map of enums by name.

This method is useful when you need a map of enums by name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

Returns:

the modifiable map of enum names to enums, never null

isValidEnum

public static <E extends java.lang.Enum<E>> boolean isValidEnum(java.lang.Class<E> enumClass,
                                                                java.lang.String enumName)

Checks if the specified name is a valid enum for the class.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that checks if the name is a valid enum without needing to catch the exception.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

enumName - the enum name, null returns false

Returns:

true if the enum name is valid, otherwise false

isValidEnumIgnoreCase

public static <E extends java.lang.Enum<E>> boolean isValidEnumIgnoreCase(java.lang.Class<E> enumClass,
                                                                          java.lang.String enumName)

Checks if the specified name is a valid enum for the class.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that checks if the name is a valid enum without needing to catch the exception and performs case insensitive matching of the name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

enumName - the enum name, null returns false
