Usage

Simply apply the needed trait on your enum.

• Base
• Translation
• Options
• TcaOptions
• From

Base

Base includes all available traits.

use Brosua\Enums\Base;

enum MyEnum: int
{
    use Base;

    case One = 1;
    case Two = 1;

    protected static function getLanguageFilePath(): string
    {
        return 'LLL:EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:myEnum.';
    }
}

Now you can use all functions described for the following traits.

Translation

use Brosua\Enums\Translation;

enum MyEnum: int
{
    use Translation;

    case One = 1;
    case Two = 1;

    protected static function getLanguageFilePath(): string
    {
        return 'LLL:EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:myEnum.';
    }
}

Now you can use the following functions:

MyEnum::One->getLabel() // => 'translation1'
MyEnum::One->getTranslationString() // => 'LLL:EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:myEnum.One'

Options

use Brosua\Enums\Options;

enum MyEnum: int
{
    use Options;

    case One = 1;
    case Two = 1;
}

Now you can use the following functions:

MyEnum::getOptions() // => [1 => 'translation1', 2 => 'translation2']

TcaOptions

use Brosua\Enums\TcaOptions;

enum MyEnum: int
{
    use TcaOptions;

    case One = 1;
    case Two = 1;

    protected static function getLanguageFilePath(): string
    {
        return 'LLL:EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:myEnum.';
    }
}

Now you can use the following functions:

MyEnum::getTcaOptions() // => [['label' => 'translation1', 'value' => 1], ['label' => 'translation2', 'value' => 2]]

From

use Brosua\Enums\From;

enum MyEnum: int
{
    use From;

    case One = 1;
    case Two = 1;
}

Now you can use the following functions:

MyEnum::fromName('One') // => Enum instance One
