Gio.Settings.prototype.get_enum

function get_enum(key: String): Number(gint) {
    // Gjs wrapper for g_settings_get_enum()
}
  

Gets the value that is stored in settings for key and converts it to the enum value that it represents.

In order to use this function the type of the value must be a string and it must be marked in the schema file as an enumerated type.

It is a programmer error to give a key that isn't contained in the schema for settings or is not marked as an enumerated type.

If the value stored in the configuration database is not a valid value for the enumerated type then this function will return the default value.
