Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require outerweb/enum-helpers

Usage

Collection support

Add the following trait to your backed enum to get collection support:

use Outerweb\EnumHelpers\HasCollectionSupport;

enum MyEnum: string
{
    use HasCollectionSupport;

    case Foo = 'foo';
    case Bar = 'bar';

    public function getLabel(): string
    {
        return match ($this) {
            self::Foo => 'Foo label',
            self::Bar => 'Bar label',
        };
    }
}

This allows you to collect enum cases easily into a Laravel collection:

$collection = MyEnum::collect(); // Collection{'foo' => MyEnum::Foo, 'bar' => MyEnum::Bar}

Getting a collection of values

You can get a collection of enum values using the collect('value') method:

$values = MyEnum::collect('value'); // Collection{'foo' => 'foo', 'bar' => 'bar'}

Getting a collection of return values of a function

You can get a collection of return values of a function by passing the function name to the collect() method:

$mapped = MyEnum::collect('getLabel'); // Collection{'foo' => 'Foo label', 'bar' => 'Bar label'}
