|
|
|
|
## Why?
|
|
|
|
First, and mainly, `SplEnum` is not integrated to PHP, you have to install the extension separately.
|
|
|
|
Using an enum instead of class constants provides the following advantages:
|
|
|
|
- You can use an enum as a parameter type: `function setAction(Action $action) {`
|
|
- You can use an enum as a return type: `function getAction() : Action {`
|
|
- You can enrich the enum with methods (e.g. `format`, `parse`, …)
|
|
- You can extend the enum to add new values (make your enum `final` to prevent it)
|
|
- You can get a list of all the possible values (see below)
|
|
|
|
This Enum class is not intended to replace class constants, but only to be used when it makes sense.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
composer require myclabs/php-enum
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Declaration
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
use MyCLabs\Enum\Enum;
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* Action enum
|
|
*/
|
|
final class Action extends Enum
|
|
{
|
|
private const VIEW = 'view';
|
|
private const EDIT = 'edit';
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$action = Action::VIEW();
|
|
|
|
// or with a dynamic key:
|
|
$action = Action::$key();
|
|
// or with a dynamic value:
|
|
$action = Action::from($value);
|
|
// or
|
|
$action = new Action($value);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As you can see, static methods are automatically implemented to provide quick access to an enum value.
|
|
|
|
One advantage over using class constants is to be able to use an enum as a parameter type:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
function setAction(Action $action) {
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
- `__construct()` The constructor checks that the value exist in the enum
|
|
- `__toString()` You can `echo $myValue`, it will display the enum value (value of the constant)
|
|
- `getValue()` Returns the current value of the enum
|
|
- `getKey()` Returns the key of the current value on Enum
|
|
- `equals()` Tests whether enum instances are equal (returns `true` if enum values are equal, `false` otherwise)
|
|
|
|
Static methods:
|
|
|
|
- `from()` Creates an Enum instance, checking that the value exist in the enum
|
|
- `toArray()` method Returns all possible values as an array (constant name in key, constant value in value)
|
|
- `keys()` Returns the names (keys) of all constants in the Enum class
|
|
- `values()` Returns instances of the Enum class of all Enum constants (constant name in key, Enum instance in value)
|
|
- `isValid()` Check if tested value is valid on enum set
|
|
- `isValidKey()` Check if tested key is valid on enum set
|
|
- `assertValidValue()` Assert the value is valid on enum set, throwing exception otherwise
|
|
- `search()` Return key for searched value
|
|
|
|
### Static methods
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
final class Action extends Enum
|
|
{
|
|
private const VIEW = 'view';
|
|
private const EDIT = 'edit';
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Static method:
|
|
$action = Action::VIEW();
|
|
$action = Action::EDIT();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Static method helpers are implemented using [`__callStatic()`](http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php#object.callstatic).
|
|
|
|
If you care about IDE autocompletion, you can either implement the static methods yourself:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
final class Action extends Enum
|
|
{
|
|
private const VIEW = 'view';
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* @return Action
|
|
*/
|
|
public static function VIEW() {
|
|
return new Action(self::VIEW);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or you can use phpdoc (this is supported in PhpStorm for example):
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
/**
|
|
* @method static Action VIEW()
|
|
* @method static Action EDIT()
|
|
*/
|
|
final class Action extends Enum
|
|
{
|
|
private const VIEW = 'view';
|
|
private const EDIT = 'edit';
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Native enums and migration
|
|
Native enum arrived to PHP in version 8.1: https://www.php.net/enumerations
|
|
If your project is running PHP 8.1+ or your library has it as a minimum requirement you should use it instead of this library.
|
|
|
|
When migrating from `myclabs/php-enum`, the effort should be small if the usage was in the recommended way:
|
|
- private constants
|
|
- final classes
|
|
- no method overridden
|
|
|
|
Changes for migration:
|
|
- Class definition should be changed from
|
|
```php
|
|
/**
|
|
* @method static Action VIEW()
|
|
* @method static Action EDIT()
|
|
*/
|
|
final class Action extends Enum
|
|
{
|
|
private const VIEW = 'view';
|
|
private const EDIT = 'edit';
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
to
|
|
```php
|
|
enum Action: string
|
|
{
|
|
case VIEW = 'view';
|
|
case EDIT = 'edit';
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
All places where the class was used as a type will continue to work.
|
|
|
|

|
|
| Get a list of all the possible instances of the enum | `Action::values()` | `Action::cases()` |

| Get a map of possible instances of the enum mapped by name | `Action::values()` | `array_combine(array_map(fn($case) => $case->name, Action::cases()), Action::cases())` <br/> or <br/> `(new ReflectionEnum(Action::class))->getConstants()` |
|
|
| Get a list of all possible names of the enum | `Action::keys()` | `array_map(fn($case) => $case->name, Action::cases())` |
|
|
| Get a list of all possible backed values of the enum | `Action::toArray()` | `array_map(fn($case) => $case->value, Action::cases())` |
|
|
| Get a map of possible backed values of the enum mapped by name | `Action::toArray()` | `array_combine(array_map(fn($case) => $case->name, Action::cases()), array_map(fn($case) => $case->value, Action::cases()))` <br/> or <br/> `array_map(fn($case) => $case->value, (new ReflectionEnum(Action::class))->getConstants()))` |
