Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the package to your project :

```
composer require mesavolt/named-enum
```

Define a class that extends `Mesavolt\Enum\NamedEnum` with your enum values and names. The values should be defined as class constants (their visibility is up to you) and the names should be declared in a protected static class variable `$VALUE_NAMES`, indexed by the corresponding value.

> Quick note: By default, `NamedEnum::getName($value)` silently ignores undefined values and returns `null` for any undefined value. You can extend `Mesavolt\Enum\StrictNamedEnum`for a strict check that will throw an `\InvalidArgumentException` if you pass an undefined enum value to `getName($value)`.

```
