Typed Enumerations
==================

[](#typed-enumerations)

Typed-enum is A simple, lightweight and efficient enumeration library. Type hint your enumerated options efficiently and strictly to eliminate unintended side effects and bugs introduced by typos.

How to use:
-----------

[](#how-to-use)

### Download

[](#download)

Download with composer:

### Extending from TypedEnum

[](#extending-from-typedenum)

Extend from TypedEnum and use any scalar constants to define the enumeration:

```
final class Foo extends TypedEnum {
    private const BAR = 'bar';
    private const BAZ = 2;
    private const FOO = 2.1;
}
```

You can now create instances of Foo by using the \_\_callstatic method based on the name of the constant:

```
Foo::BAR();  // Returns an instance of Foo with value 'bar'
```

### Testing for equality

[](#testing-for-equality)

As a bonus, you can now use strict comparisons. TypedEnum guarantees there to be only one instance of the same enumerated value at runtime.

```
function isBar(Foo $enum): bool {
    return Foo::BAR() === $enum;
}
```

### Return the actual value:

[](#return-the-actual-value)

If your application depends on the value assigned to the enumeration, you can easily fetch it with the getValue() getter.

```
echo Foo::BAR()->getValue(); //'bar'
```

### Resolve the enumeration

[](#resolve-the-enumeration)

Resolve an enumeration based on its value. The resolve method will return all enumerations with the same value in the array.

```
echo Foo::resolve('bar')[0] === Foo::BAR() // true
```

Tips
----

[](#tips)

### IDE integration

[](#ide-integration)

You can easily use the power of you ide by simply adding @method tags in the docblock of your class like this:

```
/**
 * @method static TypedEnum TEST()
 */
final class Foo extends TypedEnum {
    private const TEST = 'test';
}
```

### Psalm

[](#psalm)

We built TypedEnum with psalm! With these powerful annotations, you can now hint the scalar value of the enumeration:

```
/**
 * @extends TypedEnum
 */
final class Foo extends TypedEnum {
    private const TEST = 'test';
}
```

### Easy Bug protection

[](#easy-bug-protection)

Php 7.2 allows for protected constants, and 7.4 uses private ones. Use these features to protect against unintended side effects!

```
echo Foo::BAR === Foo::BAR() // echo's false but is impossible if it is a protected constant

```
