Important! ---------- [](#important) Since the release of PHP 8.1 this package is no longer maintained! With PHP 8.1 you should use native enums and as of Laravel [v8.71.0](https://github.com/laravel/framework/releases/tag/v8.71.0) Eloquent has official support to cast from and to native backed enums. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - **PHP ^7.3** or **PHP ^8.0** - **Laravel 8.0** or higher Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require orkhanahmadov/eloquent-enum-cast ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Let's say you have following Enum class using [myclabs/php-enum](https://github.com/myclabs/php-enum). ``` namespace App\Enums; use MyCLabs\Enum\Enum; class Role extends Enum { private const ADMIN = 1; private const USER = 2; } ``` To make it Eloquent castable, instead of `MyCLabs\Enum\Enum`, extend from `Orkhanahmadov\EloquentEnumCast\EnumCast` ``` namespace App\Enums; use Orkhanahmadov\EloquentEnumCast\EnumCast; class Role extends EnumCast { private const ADMIN = 1; private const USER = 2; } ``` > Note: `Orkhanahmadov\EloquentEnumCast\EnumCast` extends `MyCLabs\Enum\Enum`, you can still use any other methods and properties that it has. Finally, in your Eloquent model cast attribute using your Enum class ``` use App\Enums\Role; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; class User extends Model { protected $casts = [ 'role' => Role::class, ]; } ``` Now Eloquent will cast raw database values to your `App\Enums\Role` enum whenever you retrieve User model from database. Likewise, whenever you save User model with `App\Enums\Role` enum as `role` attribute Eloquent will automatically save enum's underlying value into database. ### Testing [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` ### Changelog [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
