PHPEnum is an enumeration class library for PHP developers. The idea comes from [Java enumeration](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Enum.html), and using the PHP features to implement single-value enumeration and multi-value enumeration. PHPEnum runs in most PHP applications.

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require phpenum/phpenum

```

### Getting Started

[](#getting-started)

Using PhpEnum is very similar to using Java Enum, For example, define an enumeration representing gender.

In Java:

```
public enum GenderEnum {
    MALE(1, "male"),
    FEMALE(2, "female");

    private Integer id;
    private String name;

    GenderEnum(Integer id, String name) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
    }

    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
}

```

In PHP:

```
class GenderEnum extends \PhpEnum\Enum
{
    const MALE = [1, 'male'];
    const FEMALE = [2, 'female'];

    private $id;
    private $name;

    protected function construct($id, $name)
    {
        $this->id = $id;
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }
}

```

You'll also find a lot of similarities when using enumerations

In Java:

```
GenderEnum.values(); // enum instance array
GenderEnum.valueOf("FEMALE"); // enum instance
GenderEnum.MALE.equals(GenderEnum.valueOf("MALE")); // true
GenderEnum.MALE.name(); // MALE
GenderEnum.MALE.ordinal(); // 0
GenderEnum.MALE.toString(); // MALE
GenderEnum.MALE.getId(); // 1
GenderEnum.MALE.getName(); // male

```

In PHP:

```
GenderEnum::values(); // enum instance array
GenderEnum::valueOf('FEMALE'); // enum instance
GenderEnum::MALE()->equals(GenderEnum::valueOf('MALE')); // true
GenderEnum::MALE()->name(); // MALE
GenderEnum::MALE()->ordinal(); // 0
(string)GenderEnum::MALE(); // MALE
GenderEnum::MALE()->getId(); // 1
GenderEnum::MALE()->getName(); // male

```

Not only that, PhpEnum also provides advanced functionality in subclasses

```
GenderEnum::MALE()->idEquals(1); // true
GenderEnum::MALE()->NameEquals('male'); // true
GenderEnum::containsId(1); // 1
GenderEnum::containsName('male'); // 1
GenderEnum::ofId(1); // enum instance
GenderEnum::ofName('male'); // enum instance

```
