README

Publish your PHP enums to the frontend of our application so you can refer to them in your JavaScript code.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require intrfce/laravel-frontend-enums

Usage

In your AppServiceProvider.php, tell the package which Enums you want to publish:

use Intrfce\LaravelFrontendEnums\Facades\PublishEnums;

PublishEnums::publish([
    \App\Enums\MyEnum::class,
    \App\Enums\MyOtherEnum::class,
])->toDirectory(resource_path('js/Enums'));

Then run the publish command:

php artisan publish:enums-to-javascript

Your enums will be waiting at the path you specified with the extension .enum.js:

MyEnum.enum.js
MyOtherEnum.enum.js

You can then import and use them in your JavaScript code:

import {MyEnum} from './Enums/MyEnum.enum.js';
import {MyOtherEnum} from './Enums/MyOtherEnum.enum.js';

console.log(MyEnum.FOO); // 0
console.log(MyOtherEnum.BAR); // 'bar'

Typescript Support

Typescript support is baked in: just add ->asTypescript() to the list of enums in your AppServiceProvider.php:

PublishEnums::publish([
    \App\Enums\MyEnum::class,
    \App\Enums\MyOtherEnum::class,
])
->asTypescript()
->toDirectory(resource_path('js/Enums'));

Files will be output as .ts files and Typescript native enums:

export enum MyEnum {
    FOO = 0,
    BAR = 1,
    BAZ = 2,
}

Automatically generate javascript files on change.

You can use the vite-plugin-watch package from lepikhinb to automatically generate your javascript files when you make changes to your PHP enums:

npm install -D vite-plugin-watch

Then add the plugin to your vite.config.js:

import { defineConfig } from "vite"
import { watch } from "vite-plugin-watch"

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [ 
    watch({
      pattern: "app/Enums/**/*.php",
      command: "php artisan publish:enums-to-javascript",
    }),
  ],
})
