case .subscribed(let details):

The code snippet case .subscribed(let details): is typically part of a Swift enum with associated values, used in a switch statement or pattern matching.

Here’s a general explanation of what it does:

  1. Enum with Associated Values: In Swift, enums can have "associated values" to allow parameters to be stored with each case. This snippet is matching the .subscribed case of an enum and extracting any associated value it might have.

    For example, consider the following enum:

    enum SubscriptionStatus {
        case subscribed(details: String)
        case unsubscribed
        case pending
    }
    

    Here, subscribed has an associated value of type String named details.

  2. Pattern Matching: In the context of the code, this case is being used to match if the enum instance is specifically .subscribed and extract its associated value into a constant or variable named details. This is often used in a switch statement, like this:

    let status: SubscriptionStatus = .subscribed(details: "Premium Plan")
    
    switch status {
    case .subscribed(let details):
        print("User is subscribed with details: \(details)")
    case .unsubscribed:
        print("User is not subscribed.")
    case .pending:
        print("User's subscription is pending.")
    }
    

    When the status is .subscribed, the associated value (e.g., "Premium Plan") is stored in details, and you can use it in code, such as printing it.

Summary:

The snippet case .subscribed(let details): is checking if an enum has the value .subscribed and, if so, extracts the associated value into a variable/constant called details. It allows you to work with the value stored in the enum case.
