Enum
====

[](#enum)

A simple PHP library to add support for enums. This requires slightly more work than myclabs/php-enum, but does not require reflection. It also forces enums to be singletons.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require tebru/enum

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use, extend `AbstractEnum` and implement the getConstants() method.

```
class DirectionEnum extends AbstractEnum
{
    const NORTH = 'north';
    const EAST = 'east';
    const SOUTH = 'south';
    const WEST = 'west';

    /**
     * Return an array of enum class constants
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public static function getConstants()
    {
        return [
            self::NORTH,
            self::EAST,
            self::SOUTH,
            self::WEST,
        ];
    }
}

```

Now you can create a new instance using the static method.

```
DirectionEnum::create('north');

```

You can also create an instance using the \_\_callStatic magic method.

```
DirectionEnum::NORTH();

```

Add a hint to the enum doc block

```
/**
 * @method static $this NORTH()
 */

```

Reference
---------

[](#reference)

There are multiple methods available on each enum

- `create()` \[static\] Returns an instance of the enum
- `values()` \[static\] A 0-indexed array of all of the enum values
- `exists($value)` \[static\] Returns true if the value exists
- `toArray()` \[static\] Returns a hash with keys and values as the enum values
- `equals($enum)` Performs a strict comparison of two enum values
- `getValue()` Returns the current value of the enum
- `__toString()` Same as `getValue()`
