switch Over Enums Exhaustively

Handle every case the compiler checks.

switch Loves Enums

When a value is one of a few choices, switch handles each case cleanly. Enums and switch are a natural pair.

List one case per enum member and the code to run for it. Dart matches the value to its case and runs that branch.

switch (status) {
  case Status.pending: print("Waiting");
}
