How to compare string with enum values and return corresponding enum value in Kotlin

Issue

    var stringValue: String = "ort"

How to compare stringValue with nameOfCode from Data enum class and get get corresponding code value from enum class in Kotlin in android.

enum class Data(val nameOfCode: String, val code: String) {
    WES("wes", "6"),
    ORT("ort", "70"),
    R("R", "7"),
    RON("Ron", "6,7"),
    LO("Lo", "6,70"),
    OT("ot", "7,70"),
    ALL("All", "6,7,7000")
}

Eg: Here string value is "ort" so in enum ort corresponding code value is "70". How to get this value.

Solution

You can find the corresponding entry in the enum and get its code, like this:

val code = Data.values().find { it.nameOfCode == nameToBeSearched }?.code

This will give null if nameToBeSearched does not match with any nameOfCode in the enum.
