HowTo
-----

[](#howto)

Enum library provides two base classes:

- **Enum**
- **EnumUnique**

### Enum Class

[](#enum-class)

```
use Ds\Enum;

class MyEnum extends Enum {
    public const FOO            = 0;
    public const BAR            = 0;
}

```

As C++, **Enum allows duplicated** values, in this case FOO and BAR. The **MyEnum** internal representation is integer. You can use both classic object constructor as

```
$oObj = new MyEnum(0);

```

or from a factory function:

```
$oObj = MyEnum::FOO();

```

or with a copy constructor:

```
$oObj = new MyEnum(MyEnum::FOO());

```

or from a string:

```
$oObj = MyEnum::fromString('FOO');

```

then you can use classic comparison operator

```
echo ($oObj == MyEnum::FOO() ? "Oh yeah" : "uhm"); // Oh yeah

```

### EnumUnique Class

[](#enumunique-class)

```
use Ds\Enum;

class MyEnumUnique extends EnumUnique {
    public const FOO            = 0;
    public const BAR            = 1;
}

```

For this class

```
$oObj = MyEnumUnique::FOO();
echo ($oObj == MyEnumUnique::FOO() ? "Oh yeah" : "uhm"); // Oh yeah
echo ($oObj == MyEnumUnique::BAR() ? "uhm" : "not bad"); // not bad

```

### Default values

[](#default-values)

Both base classes support **default** value. For example, a unique class with default value will be:

```
use Ds\Enum;

class MyEnumUniqueDef extends EnumUnique {
    public const __DEFAULT__    = 0;
    public const FOO            = 0;
    public const BAR            = 1;
}

```

then you can also use default constructor:

```
$oObj = new MyEnumUniqueDef();
echo ($oObj == MyEnumUniqueDef::FOO() ? "Oh yeah" : "uhm"); // Oh yeah

```
