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();
});
