Elegant way to determine if value is any of a few enum types?












-1














Let say I have an enum called UserRole which contains 100 roles. I am currently checking roles this way:



guard userRole == .admin 
|| userRole == .recruiter
|| ....
else {
...
}


The thing I am repeating all the time is this:



userRole ==


Isn't there something shorter, like:



guard userRole == (.admin | .recruiter | ... )
else {
...
}
