How do I encode enum using NSCoder in swift?

by

You need to convert the enum to and from the raw value. In Swift 1.2 (Xcode 6.3), this would look like this:

class AppState : NSObject, NSCoding
{
    var idx   = 0
    var stage = Stage.DisplayAll

    override init() {}

    required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        self.idx   = aDecoder.decodeIntegerForKey( "idx" )
        self.stage = Stage(rawValue: (aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey( "stage" ) as! String)) ?? .DisplayAll
    }

    func encodeWithCoder(aCoder: NSCoder) {
        aCoder.encodeInteger( self.idx, forKey:"idx" )
        aCoder.encodeObject(  self.stage.rawValue, forKey:"stage" )
    }

    // ...

}

Swift 1.1 (Xcode 6.1), uses as instead of as!:

    self.stage = Stage(rawValue: (aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey( "stage" ) as String)) ?? .DisplayAll

Swift 1.0 (Xcode 6.0) uses toRaw() and fromRaw() like this:

    self.stage = Stage.fromRaw(aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey( "stage" ) as String) ?? .DisplayAll

    aCoder.encodeObject( self.stage.toRaw(), forKey:"stage" )
