Works with Laravel and Filament PHP.

Usage

Power Enum in Laravel

<?php

namespace App\Enums;

use PowerEnum\PowerEnum;

enum Status: string
{
    use PowerEnum;

    case Draft = 'draft';
    case Hidden = 'hidden';
    case Published = 'published';
}

Power Enum in Filament

<?php

namespace App\Enums;

use Filament\Support\Contracts\HasLabel;
use PowerEnum\PowerEnum;

enum Status: string implements HasLabel
{
    use PowerEnum;

    case Draft = 'draft';
    case Hidden = 'hidden';
    case Published = 'published';

    public function getLabel(): string
    {
        return match ($this) {
            self::Draft => 'Draft',
            self::Hidden => 'Hidden',
            self::Published => 'Published',
        };
    }
}

// Using power enum in a select field.
Select::make('status')
    ->options(Status::options(except: Status::Hidden)),
    // OR
    ->options(Status::options(only: [Status::Published, Status::Draft])),

Methods

fromName

Returns the enum case from the enum name. When the name is missing or is invalid, then it throws a ValueError exception.

Status::fromName('Published'); // Status::Published

Status::fromName('invalid'); // throws \ValueError

tryFromName

Returns the enum case from the enum name. When the name is missing or is invalid, then it returns null.

Status::tryFromName('Published'); // Status::Published

Status::tryFromName('invalid'); // null

fromRequest

Returns the enum case from the request, when is a valid value. Optionally, you can provide a default value and use that instead of null.

Status::fromRequest('status'); // self|null

Status::fromRequest('status', default: Status::Draft); // self

rule

Returns the validation rule for the enum. Returns an instance of Illuminate\Validation\Rules\Enum.

Status::rule(); // \Illuminate\Validation\Rules\Enum

Status::rule()->only([
    Status::Published,
    Status::Draft,
]);

Status::rule()->except(Status::Hidden);

count

Counts the number of enum cases.

Status::count(); // 3

collect

The collect method returns a new Illuminate\Support\Collection instance with the enum cases.

Status::collect(); // \Illuminate\Support\Collection

names

Status::names(); // ['Published', 'Hidden', 'Draft']

Status::names(only: Status::Published); // ['Published']
Status::names(only: [Status::Published, Status::Draft]); // ['Published', 'Draft']

Status::names(except: Status::Hidden); // ['Published', 'Draft']
Status::names(except: [Status::Hidden, Status::Draft]); // ['Published']

values

Status::values(); // ['published', 'hidden', 'draft']

Status::values(only: Status::Published); // ['published']
Status::values(only: [Status::Published, Status::Draft]); // ['published', 'draft']

Status::values(except: Status::Hidden); // ['published', 'draft']
Status::values(except: [Status::Hidden, Status::Draft]); // ['published']

Example: Using in a Laravel Query Builder

You can use the values method to filter the query builder results based on the enum values.

class Post extends Model
{
    public function scopeVisible(Builder $query): void
    {
        $query->whereIn('status', Status::values(except: Status::Hidden));
        // OR
        $query->whereIn('status', Status::values(only: [Status::Published, Status::Draft]));
    }
}

options

Returns an array of options for the enum, with the keys being the values of the enum and the values being the names of the enum.

When getLabel method is implemented, it will be used to get the label for the enum value. Otherwise, the name of the enum will be converted to a headline format, using Str::headline function from Laravel String helper class.

Status::options(); // ['published' => 'Published', 'hidden' => 'Hidden', 'draft' => 'Draft']

Status::options(only: Status::Published); // ['published' => 'Published']
Status::options(only: [Status::Published, Status::Draft]); // ['published' => 'Published', 'draft' => 'Draft']

Status::options(except: [Status::Hidden, Status::Draft]); // ['published' => 'Published']
Status::options(except: Status::Hidden); // ['published' => 'Published', 'draft' => 'Draft']

Example: Using in a Filament form as a select field options

You can use the options method to get options for the select field. Optionally you can filter them using only or except parameters.

class PostResource extends Resource
{
    public static function form(Form $form): Form
    {
        return $form
            ->schema([
                Select::make('type')
                    ->required()
                    ->options(Status::options(except: Status::Hidden))
                    // OR
                    ->options(Status::options(only: [Status::Published, Status::Draft]))
            ]);
    }
}

mapped

Returns an array of arrays with value and label keys, where value is the enum value and label is the enum name or label.

When getLabel method is implemented, it will be used to get the label for the enum value. Otherwise, the name of the enum will be converted to a headline format, using Str::headline function from Laravel String helper class.

Status::mapped(); // [['value' => 'published', 'label' => 'Published'], ...]

only

Returns the enum cases only the ones provided. You can provide a single enum case, an array of enum cases, or multiple enum cases.

Status::only(Status::Hidden); // [Status::Hidden]

Status::only(Status::Hidden, Status::Draft); // [Status::Hidden, Status::Draft]

Status::only([Status::Hidden, Status::Draft]); // [Status::Hidden, Status::Draft]

except

Returns the enum cases except the ones provided. You can provide a single enum case, an array of enum cases, or multiple enum cases.

Status::except(Status::Hidden); // [Status::Published, Status::Draft]

Status::except(Status::Hidden, Status::Draft); // [Status::Published]

Status::except([Status::Hidden, Status::Draft]); // [Status::Published]

is

Status::Published->is(Status::Draft); // false
Status::Published->is(Status::Published); // true

isNot

Status::Published->isNot(Status::Draft); // true
Status::Published->isNot(Status::Published); // false

isAny

Status::Published->isAny(Status::Draft); // false
Status::Published->isAny(Status::Published); // true

Status::Published->isAny(Status::Published, Status::Draft); // true
Status::Published->isAny(Status::Draft, Status::Hidden); // false

Status::Published->isAny([Status::Draft, Status::Hidden]); // false
Status::Published->isAny([Status::Published, Status::Hidden]); // true

isNotAny

Status::Published->isNotAny(Status::Draft); // true
Status::Published->isNotAny(Status::Published); // false

Status::Published->isNotAny(Status::Published, Status::Draft); // false
Status::Published->isNotAny(Status::Draft, Status::Hidden); // true

Status::Published->isNotAny([Status::Draft, Status::Hidden]); // true
Status::Published->isNotAny([Status::Published, Status::Hidden]); // false

toLower

Converts the enum name to a lowercased string. Useful when you have int based enums, and you want to convert non-lowercased enum name to a lowercased string as if they were string based enums.

enum Type: int
{
    use PowerEnum;

    case Admin = 1;
    case User = 2;
}

Type::Admin->toLower(); // 'admin'
Type::User->toLower(); // 'user'

Example: In a Resource

When using the enum in a resource, you can use the toLower method to convert the enum name to a lowercased string. This is useful when you want to display the value in a more readable format and instead of an integer.

class UserResource extends JsonResource
{
    public function toArray(Request $request): array
    {
        return [
            'id' => $this->id,
            'name' => $this->name,
            'type' => Type::Admin->toLower(), // admin
        ];
    }
}

toUpper

Converts the enum name to a uppercased string.

Type::Admin->toUpper(); // 'ADMIN'
Type::User->toUpper(); // 'USER'
