README
A lightweight and easy-to-use package for extending PHP enumerations with additional functionality in your Laravel projects.
Features
This package adds the following functionality to PHP enums using the Enumerable
trait:
- Retrieve all enum values (
values()
). - Retrieve all enum names (
names()
). - Get an enum case by name (
getByName()
). - Get an enum case by value (
getByValue()
). - Translate an enum (
translate()
).
Installation
To use this package, add it to your Laravel project with Composer:
composer require saadsebai/enum-support
Usage
1. Create an Enum
The Enumerable trait can be added to any PHP enum to extend its functionality. Here’s an example:
namespace App\Enums; use Saad\EnumSupport\Traits\Enums\Enumerable; enum UserRole: string { use Enumerable; // Add the trait to your enum. case ADMIN = 'admin'; case EDITOR = 'editor'; case VIEWER = 'viewer'; }
2. Use the Enum
- Get an array of all the enum values:
UserRole::values(); // ['admin', 'editor', 'viewer']
- Get an array of all the enum names:
UserRole::names(); // ['ADMIN', 'EDITOR', 'VIEWER']
- Retrieve a specific enum case by its name:
UserRole::getByName('ADMIN'); // Returns UserRole::ADMIN UserRole::getByName('invalid'); // Returns null
- Retrieve a specific enum case by its value:
UserRole::getByValue('admin'); // Returns UserRole::ADMIN UserRole::getByValue('invalid'); // Returns null
- Translate an enum:
⚠ Warning: Before using the
translate()
function, you must create the corresponding translation file. This file should contain the keys and values for the enum cases in the specified language.
UserRole::ADMIN->translate('role'); // Returns the translation of the enum value using the giving translation file path.
Testing
This package uses Pest for testing. To run the tests, use the following command:
php vendor/bin/pest
Example Tests
Below is an example of how the Enumerable
trait is tested:
Test File: tests/Feature/EnumerableTest.php
<?php use Saad\EnumSupport\Traits\Enums\Enumerable; enum UserRole: string { use Enumerable; case ADMIN = 'admin'; case EDITOR = 'editor'; case VIEWER = 'viewer'; } it('returns all enum values', function () { expect(UserRole::values())->toBe(['admin', 'editor', 'viewer']); }); it('returns all enum names', function () { expect(UserRole::names())->toBe(['ADMIN', 'EDITOR', 'VIEWER']); }); it('retrieves an enum by name', function () { expect(UserRole::getByName('ADMIN'))->toBe(UserRole::ADMIN); expect(UserRole::getByName('invalid'))->toBeNull(); }); it('retrieves an enum by value', function () { expect(UserRole::getByValue('admin'))->toBe(UserRole::ADMIN); expect(UserRole::getByValue('invalid'))->toBeNull(); });
