GitHub - iteks/laravel-enum: A comprehensive Laravel package providing enhanced enum functionalities, including attribute handling, select array conversions, and fluent facade interactions for robust enum management in Laravel applications.

The Laravel Enum package enriches Laravel's enum support, integrating advanced features like attribute handling, select array transformation, and facade access for streamlined enum operations. Designed for Laravel applications, it offers a suite of utilities for both backed enums and attribute-enhanced enums, including descriptive annotations, ID management, label generation, and metadata association. This package streamlines working with enums in Laravel by providing intuitive, fluent interfaces for common tasks, enhancing enum usability in forms, API responses, and more. Whether you're defining select options, querying enum attributes, or integrating enums tightly with Laravel features, Laravel Enum simplifies these processes, making enum management in Laravel applications both powerful and efficient.

ExampleBackedEnum class

The Laravel Enum methods are designed for PHP 8 Backed Enumeration classes.

Laravel Enum helper and trait methods extend an existing backed enum class for more versatile enum handling. Additionally, Laravel Enum offers a fluent way to add and manage PHP 8 Attributes on backed enum cases. This package comes with four available attributes to readily assign to your enum cases: Description, Id, Label, and Metadata. The ExampleBackedEnum class below demonstrates how you can apply these attributes to you enums. You may pick and choose which attributes you wish to take advantage of.

use Iteks\Attributes\Description;
use Iteks\Attributes\Id;
use Iteks\Attributes\Label;
use Iteks\Attributes\Metadata;
use Iteks\Traits\BackedEnum;
use Iteks\Traits\HasAttributes;

enum ExampleBackedEnum: int
{
    use BackedEnum;
    use HasAttributes;

    #[Description('Active status indicating the resource is currently in use')]
    #[Id(101)]
    #[Label('Active')]
    #[Metadata(['status_type' => 'positive', 'display_color' => 'green'])]
    case CurrentlyActive = 1;

    #[Description('Pending status indicating the resource is awaiting processing or approval')]
    #[Id(102)]
    #[Label('Pending')]
    #[Metadata('{"status_type": "neutral", "display_color": "yellow"}')]
    case PendingReview = 2;

    #[Description('Temporarily suspended status indicating the resource is on hold')]
    #[Id(103)]
    #[Label('Suspended (!)')]
    #[Metadata([])]
    case TemporarilySuspended = 3;
}

Attributes

The package provides four attributes to enhance your enum classes and cases:

Description Attribute

Provides descriptive text for enum classes and cases.

#[Description('A collection of status codes')] // Class-level description
enum Status: int
{
    #[Description('Operation completed successfully')] // Case-level description
    case Success = 200;
}

Id Attribute

Provides unique identifiers for enum cases.

enum Status: int
{
    #[Id(1)]
    case Draft = 0;
}

Label Attribute

Provides human-readable labels for enum cases.

enum Status: int
{
    #[Label('In Progress')]
    case Processing = 1;
}

Metadata Attribute

Provides additional metadata for enum classes and cases. Supports multiple metadata attributes and can be used on both the enum class and its cases.

#[Metadata(['version' => '1.0'])] // Class-level metadata
enum Status: int
{
    #[Metadata(['severity' => 'error'])] // Case-level metadata
    case Error = 500;
}

Attribute Capabilities Summary

Description: Class + Cases
Id: Cases Only
Label: Cases Only
Metadata: Class + Cases

Enum Helpers (BackedEnum)

First, import the helper class:

use Iteks\Support\Facades\Enum;

Note: This group of helpers does NOT require any trait to be applied to the target enum class. You may immediately use the the following methods:

Enum::asSelectArray()

Get a backed enum class as an array to populate a select element. The array will consist of a text key column containing values of the case name in display format, and a value keys column containing values using the original simpler values.

Note: This method will first check for Label and Id attributes applied to the target enum class. If they are present, the method will prioritize those values. If not present, the method will return a mutated Headline value from the case name.

$selectArray = Enum::asSelectArray(ExampleBackedEnum::class);

# Result:
array:3 [▼
  0 => array:2 [▼
    "text" => "Active"
    "value" => 101
  ]
  1 => array:2 [▼
    "text" => "Pending"
    "value" => 102
  ]
  2 => array:2 [▼
    "text" => "Suspended (!)"
    "value" => 103
  ]
]

Enum::toLabel()

Create a label from the case name.

$label = Enum::toLabel(ExampleBackedEnum::CurrentlyActive); // 'Currently Active'

Enum::toLabels()

Create and compile an array of labels from the case names.

$labels = Enum::toLabels(ExampleBackedEnum::class);

# Result:
array:3 [▼
  0 => "Currently Active"
  1 => "Pending Review"
  2 => "Temporarily Suspended"
]

top

Enum Helpers (HasAttributes)

First, ensure that the target enum class has the HasAttributes trait applied, as shown in the ExampleBackedEnum class above.

Then, import the helper class:

use Iteks\Support\Facades\Enum;

You may then use the following methods:

Enum::attributes()

Accessing attributes.

Retrieve all attributes for a given case.

$attributes = Enum::attributes(ExampleBackedEnum::CurrentlyActive);

  "id" => 101
  "label" => "Active"
  "metadata" => array:2 [▼
    "status_type" => "positive"
    "display_color" => "green"
  ]
]

Retrieve a subset of the attributes for a given case.

$attributes = Enum::attributes(ExampleBackedEnum::CurrentlyActive, ['id', 'label']);

# Result:
array:2 [▼
  "id" => 101
  "label" => "Active"
]

Retrieve all attributes for all cases.

$attributes = Enum::attributes(ExampleBackedEnum::class);

# Result:

    "metadata" => array:2 [▶]
  ]
  "PendingReview" => array:5 [▼
    "simpleValue" => 2
    "description" => "Pending status indicating the resource is awaiting processing or approval"
    "id" => 102
    "label" => "Pending"
    "metadata" => "{"status_type": "neutral", "display_color": "yellow"}"
  ]
  "TemporarilySuspended" => array:5 [▼
    "simpleValue" => 3
    "description" => "Temporarily suspended status indicating the resource is on hold"
    "id" => 103
    "label" => "Suspended (!)"
    "metadata" => []
  ]
]

Retrieve a subset of the attributes for all cases.

$attributes = Enum::attributes(ExampleBackedEnum::class, ['description', 'metadata']);

# Result:
array:3 [▼
  "CurrentlyActive" => array:2 [▼
    "description" => "Active status indicating the resource is currently in use"
