README

A Laravel package to automatically generate PHP enums from database columns.

Installation

composer require mattyeend/dynamic-enum-generator

This package supports Laravel 10, 11, and 12.

Laravel will auto-discover the service provider.

Usage

Generate an enum from a specific table and column:

php artisan enum:generate --table=users --column=status

Options

• --table: The database table name.
• --column: The column name to generate the enum from.
• --path: Path where enums are saved (default: app/Enums).

Example

Suppose you have a users table with a status column containing:

• active
• inactive
• pending

Running:

php artisan enum:generate --table=users --column=status

Generates app/Enums/Status.php:

<?php

namespace App\Enums;

enum Status: string
{
    case ACTIVE = 'active';
    case INACTIVE = 'inactive';
    case PENDING = 'pending';
}

Features

• Works with any table and column
• Creates directories automatically if missing
• Generates native PHP 8.1+ enums
• Perfect for status, role, type fields, etc.
