[swift-evolution] [Idea]Why not get dynamically named variables?

[Saagar Jha]

Have you thought about using a dictionary? You can fetch a recipe by looking up a key:

let foods: [String: Foods] = [:] // fill it up appropriately with your own data
let recipe = foods[TitleTextField.text].recipe

For e.g. in an app from storing recipes, where the user creates a recipe,the recipe should be stored in a constant (as a structure) with a name “\(TitleTextField.text)_Recipe” (e.g. “Lasagna_Recipe”), so that it gets stored easily and therefore fetched even easier.
