PHP Enum(erations)
==================

[](#php-enumerations)

Utility to have enum-like classes. We love ENUMS! True enumeration with integers seems to be impossible to achieve (at least for me). Designed to be dynamical (not only for compile time - read values from DB f.e. and make dynamic enums)

Bug report

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

[](#installation)

### Composer

[](#composer)

Install with

```
composer install vosiz/php-enum

```

Update with (dependencies/required)

```
composer update

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Implement your own enums! Lets say, you have a game and want elemental magic defined other way than with defines or constants. You want to do something like this:

```
use Vosiz\Enums\Enum;

class Elements extends Enum {

    public static function Init(): void {

        $vals = [
            'Fire' => 0,
            'Water' => 1,
            'Air' => 2,
            'Earth' => 3,
        ];
        self::AddValues($vals);
    }
}
```

Important

You can multiple same values allocated to diferent keys (as some classic enum does not allow it) - here it is permitted. But you can lose consistency if you base on integers (values) too much.

### Usage sample - int-like

[](#usage-sample---int-like)

Now you can simply use it for example like this. It is value based - integers.

```
$elements = Elements::GetValues(); // all enum values - foreach usage f.e.

$armor->ResistanceType = Elements::GetEnumVal('Fire'); // allocate enum variable

if($armor->ResistanceType == Elements::GetEnumVal('Water');) { // comparation

    ...
}
```

### Usage sample - enum-like

[](#usage-sample---enum-like)

If you need to track or operate with naming of enum (enum key and value in general), you should use something like this:

```
$enum = Elements::GetEnum('Earth');

// access key or value
$key = $enum->GetKey(); // alt GetName()
$val = $enum->GetValue();

// compare
$is_water = $enum->Compare(Elements::GetEnum('Water'));

// i fyou know value but not name
$what_is_the_key = Elements::Find('Air');
```

### Useful tips

[](#useful-tips)

If you want to distinct 'key' from 'sho key', there is Display property. It is automatically set to key, but you can set it up in custom enum definition. Example.

```
class EdibleEnum extends Enum {

    public static function Init(): void {

        $vals = [
            'apple'     => 0,
            'leek'      => [100, 'pure poison'],
            'peach'     => 69,
            'pear'      => [1, 'apple relative'],

        ];
        self::AddValues($vals);
    }
}
```

Important

You have to still keep first value of array as int (core functionality of enum).
