Access enum from another file within a static function in Swift

Question

A.swift:

struct ApiRequest {
    static func getUrl() {
        // MyEnum.oneDay ---> Use of undeclared type 'MyEnum'
    }
}

B.swift:

public enum MyEnum: String {
    case oneDay = "1d"
    case sevenDays = "7d"
    case thirtyDays = "30d"
}

How do I access MyEnum.oneDay?

Make sure that A.swift and B.swift belongs to the same module — Daniel Krom

What's the problem with declaring let enumValue = MyEnum.oneDay in getUrl() function? — Ahmad F

@DanielKrom: his MyEnum is defined as public, so it can be accessed everywhere — Quang Hà

If its declared inside class B you need to access like B.MyEnum — GoodSp33d

Let's say you have a class B like this,

class B {
    public enum MyEnum: String {
        case oneDay = "1d"
        case sevenDays = "7d"
        case thirtyDays = "30d"
    }
}

you can access it in class A like this,

class A {
    struct ApiRequest {
        static func getUrl() {
            print(B.MyEnum.oneDay)
        }
    }
}
