Usage ENUM

Simple and base functional to start using Enum in your projects. Just initialize enum value by creating Enum class.

final class SizeEnum extends \githubjeka\enum\BaseObjectEnum
{
    const XS = 'xs';
    const SMALL = 's';
    const MEDIUM = 'm';
    const LARGE = 'l';
    const XL = 'xl';
    const XXL = 'xxl';

    public static function getList(): array
    {
        return [
            self::XS => 'Extra small(xs)',
            self::SMALL => 'Small',
            self::MEDIUM => 'Medium',
            self::LARGE => 'Large',
            self::XL => 'Extra large(xl)',
            self::XXL => 'Extra extra large(xxl)',
        ];
    }
}

After that you can use API enums as:

SizeEnum::getList()

Return ready list for use in HTML list elements like checkboxes, select or others

SizeEnum::getKeys()

Return values of ENUM for use it in validation rules like Assertion::inArray('xs', SizeEnum::getKeys());;

SizeEnum::XXL

Return string key. Use to compare with the saved values (bool)('xxl' === SizeEnum::XXL)?>;

SizeEnum::getLabel(SizeEnum::LARGE)

Return human description of value. InvalidArgumentException will be returned if value is wrong.

SizeEnum::isValid('xl')

Use to avoid InvalidArgumentException exception.

new SizeEnum('xxl')

Return Object enum.

class Shirt
{
    private $size;

    public function __construct(SizeEnum $size)
    {
        $this->size = $size;
    }

    public function size(): SizeEnum
    {
        return $this->size;
    }
}

$sizeFromDb = 'xxl';
$size = new SizeEnum($sizeFromDb);
$shirt = new Shirt($size);

$shirt->size()->asKey(); // (string) xxl 

$shirt->size()->asLabel(); // (string) Extra extra large(xxl)

$shirt->size()->equals(new SizeEnum(SizeEnum::XS)); // (bool) false

echo $shirt->size(); // (string) xxl

Extra

Strongly recommend that you do not use numbers as enumeration values:

const XS = '0';         // not recommend
const SMALL = '1';      // not recommend
const MEDIUM = 2;       // not recommend
const LARGE = 3;        // not recommend

because it is easy to mix up the strings and the underlying number values if you quote the ENUM values incorrectly.

By default expected that all Enum(constants) are Strings.

If you want to use integers you can change $stringMode property to FALSE in your Enum class. After that should use only integers value for constants:

const XS = 0;
const SMALL = 1;
const MEDIUM = 2;
const LARGE = 3;
