Enum - missing type in PHP
==========================

[](#enum---missing-type-in-php)

Class organizes collections of constants. Gives the ability to keep code clear, transparent and strict. Like the SplEnum class, but much better.

USAGE - two ways to define a collection
=======================================

[](#usage---two-ways-to-define-a-collection)

```
class Vertical extends Enum
{
	const TOP = 'TOP';
	const MIDDLE = 'MIDDLE';
	const BOTTOM = 'BOTTOM';
}

// OR

class Horizontal extends Enum
{
	const VALUE = ['LEFT', 'CENTER', 'RIGHT'];
}
```

4 REASONS TO USE
================

[](#4-reasons-to-use)

### 1 REASON - use ENUM to extortion type of param method

[](#1-reason---use-enum-to-extortion-type-of-param-method)

```
class MyClass
{
	public function __construct(Vertical $vertical)
	{
	}
}

new MyClass(Vertical::TOP());
```

### 2 USAGE - easy value compare

[](#2-usage---easy-value-compare)

```
if (Vertical::TOP() == 'TOP')
{
	if (Vertical::TOP()->is(Vertical::TOP))
	{
	}
}
```

### 3 USAGE - list of posibilitis

[](#3-usage---list-of-posibilitis)

```
foreach(Vertical::getOptionList() as $option)
{
	echo $option;
}
```

### 4 USAGE - check if option exists

[](#4-usage---check-if-option-exists)

```
if (Vertical::isValid('TOP'))
{
	echo 'TOP is a valid value of Vertical Enum';
}
if (Vertical::isValid('LEFT') == false)
{
	echo 'LEFT is not a valid value of Vertical Enum';
}
```
