Question

The instructions were: Next, add a method to the enum named button that returns an instance of the class UIBarButtonItem configured properly. An example of how to create an instance for this task is shown in the comments below. Use the same initializer.

In the method, using the associated values as titles for the button, return a button with style UIBarButtonStyle.done for the done member of the BarButton enum. Similarly for the edit member, return a UIBarButtonItem instance with the style set to UIBarButtonStyle.plain.

In both cases you can pass nil for target and action. Once you have a method, call it on the value we created in the previous task and assign it to a constant named button.

buttons.swift

// Example of UIBarButtonItem instance
// let someButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "A Title", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)

enum BarButton {
    case done(title: String)
    case edit(title: String)

  func button() -> UIBarButtonItem {

switch self {
case .done(let title): return UIBarButtonItem(title: title, style: UIBarButtonStyle.done , target: nil, action: nil)
case .edit(let title): return UIBarButtonItem(tittle: title, style: UIBarButtonStyle.plain, target: nil, action: nil)
   }
  }
 }
let doneButton = button.done(title: "Save")
 return UIBarButtonItem(title: title, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)

I realise this is old, but for those finding this question, here's the answer.

Inside the 'switch', the style types should be only '.done' and '.plain'
'let doneButton' should be 'let done' and the call is incorrect.
shouldn't return at the end, should be setting a const.

Correct code:

enum BarButton {
    case done(title: String)
    case edit(title: String)

    func button() -> UIBarButtonItem{
        switch self {
        case .done(let title):
            return UIBarButtonItem(title: title, style: .done, target: nil, action: nil)
        case .edit(let title):
            return UIBarButtonItem(title: title, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
        }
    }
}

let done = BarButton.done(title: "Save")
let button = done.button()
