Dynamically Creating 'Enums'

[aarondglover]

This library looks awesome and I'm hooked on Bitwise for permissions etc. The issue of exceeding 64 is annoying to overcome so I am interested in applying this to my project. Thumbs up to the author 👍

I should not be lazy and just prototype it... But.... I am lazy so I figured I'd ask and maybe it will help someone else too

My question is whether an Infinite Enum could be dynamically generated at run time?

Imagine creating an app which has the ability to add dynamic roles. Could an infiniteEnum/flag be created... Generate and store that unique I'd against the role.

Then when I assign that dynamic role to a user, get the uniqueId, convert it back - then assign that enum to a user's set of permissions using bitwise... Then generate and persist a new UniqueId.

Hi @aarondglover,
Interesting Idea, I haven't thought about it before but technically yes it is possible. using the var dynamicFlag = new Flag<YourEnumType>(index); you can create it dynamically, where the index must be your last created flag +1. but it really depends on what kind of problem you want to solve and how.

I suggest you try it, and let me know if you faced any problems.
