Is it possible to use enums in RealmSwift?

Question

I want to do something like this:

enum WeekDay {
    case Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
}

class Person: Object {

    dynamic var birthday: WeekDay? = .Monday
    dynamic var id: String? = nil
    dynamic var birthdayRaw: String? = nil

    override static func primaryKey() -> String? {
        return "id"
    }
}

But, I'm getting an error:

Property cannot be marked dynamic because its type cannot be represented in Objective-C

How can I solve this ? Thanks for any help.

Realm doesn't have a direct way do it. Github issue.

But you can consider this trick

enum WeekDay: String {
    case Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
}

class Person: Object {
    private var _day: WeekDay?
    var birthday: WeekDay? {
        get {
            if let resolTypeRaw = birthdayRaw  {
                _day = WeekDay(rawValue: resolTypeRaw)
                return _day
            }
            return .Sunday
        }
        set {
            birthdayRaw = newValue?.rawValue
            _day = newValue
        }
    }

    dynamic var id: String? = nil
    dynamic var birthdayRaw: String? = nil

    override static func primaryKey() -> String? {
        return "id"
    }
}
