Enum
====

[](#enum)

Library for enumerate objects

Simple use
----------

[](#simple-use)

### Create enum class with constants:

[](#create-enum-class-with-constants)

```
class MyEnum extends Enum {
    const CONSTANT_A = 'value_a';
    const CONSTANT_B = 'value_b';
}
```

### Use it as object or as scalar:

[](#use-it-as-object-or-as-scalar)

```
$enumObject = MyEnum::getInstance(MyEnum::CONSTANT_A);
echo $enumObject->getValue(); // prints 'value_a'
echo $enumObject;             // also prints 'value_a'
```

### Validate enum by passing whole object instead of scalar:

[](#validate-enum-by-passing-whole-object-instead-of-scalar)

```
function someFunction(MyEnum $enumObject): void
{
    // ...
}

$enumObject = MyEnum::getInstance(MyEnum::CONSTANT_A);
someFunction($enumObject);
```

### Compare instances:

[](#compare-instances)

```
function compareFunction(MyEnum $firstEnumObject, MyEnum $secondEnumObject): bool
{
    return $firstEnumObject === $secondEnumObject       // both variants
        || $firstEnumObject->equals($secondEnumObject)  // are identical
}
```

Get enum instances via magic static call
----------------------------------------

[](#get-enum-instances-via-magic-static-call)

```
/**
 * @method static self valueA()
 * @method static self valueB()
 */
class MyEnum extends Enum {
    use MagicStaticCallEnum; // use MagicStaticCallEnum trait

    const CONSTANT_A = 'value_a';
    const CONSTANT_B = 'value_b';
}

$enumObject = MyEnum::valueA(); // instead of MyEnum::getInstance(MyEnum::CONSTANT_A)
```
