PHP Enum implementation inspired from SplEnum

GitHub Actions Latest Stable Version Total Downloads Psalm Shepherd

Maintenance for this project is supported via Tidelift.

Why?

First, and mainly, SplEnum is not integrated to PHP, you have to install the extension separately.

Using an enum instead of class constants provides the following advantages:

  • You can use an enum as a parameter type: function setAction(Action $action) {
  • You can use an enum as a return type: function getAction() : Action {
  • You can enrich the enum with methods (e.g. format, parse, …)
  • You can extend the enum to add new values (make your enum final to prevent it)
  • You can get a list of all the possible values (see below)

This Enum class is not intended to replace class constants, but only to be used when it makes sense.

Installation

composer require myclabs/php-enum

Declaration

use MyCLabs\Enum\Enum;

/**
 * Action enum
 */
final class Action extends Enum
{
    private const VIEW = 'view';
    private const EDIT = 'edit';
}

Usage

$action = Action::VIEW();

// or with a dynamic key:
$action = Action::$key();
// or with a dynamic value:
$action = Action::from($value);
// or
$action = new Action($value);

As you can see, static methods are automatically implemented to provide quick access to an enum value.

One advantage over using class constants is to be able to use an enum as a parameter type:

function setAction(Action $action) {
    // ...
}

Documentation

  • __construct() The constructor checks that the value exist in the enum
  • __toString() You can echo $myValue, it will display the enum value (value of the constant)
  • getValue() Returns the current value of the enum
  • getKey() Returns the key of the current value on Enum
  • equals() Tests whether enum instances are equal (returns true if enum values are equal, false otherwise)

Static methods:

  • from() Creates an Enum instance, checking that the value exist in the enum
  • toArray() method Returns all possible values as an array (constant name in key, constant value in value)
  • keys() Returns the names (keys) of all constants in the Enum class
  • values() Returns instances of the Enum class of all Enum constants (constant name in key, Enum instance in value)
  • isValid() Check if tested value is valid on enum set
  • isValidKey() Check if tested key is valid on enum set
  • assertValidValue() Assert the value is valid on enum set, throwing exception otherwise
  • search() Return key for searched value

Static methods

final class Action extends Enum
{
    private const VIEW = 'view';
    private const EDIT = 'edit';
}

// Static method:
$action = Action::VIEW();
$action = Action::EDIT();

Static method helpers are implemented using __callStatic().

If you care about IDE autocompletion, you can either implement the static methods yourself:

final class Action extends Enum
{
    private const VIEW = 'view';

    /**
     * @return Action
     */
    public static function VIEW() {
        return new Action(self::VIEW);
    }
}

or you can use phpdoc (this is supported in PhpStorm for example):

/**
 * @method static Action VIEW()
 * @method static Action EDIT()
 */
final class Action extends Enum
{
    private const VIEW = 'view';
    private const EDIT = 'edit';
}

Native enums and migration

Native enum arrived to PHP in version 8.1: https://www.php.net/enumerations
If your project is running PHP 8.1+ or your library has it as a minimum requirement you should use it instead of this library.

When migrating from myclabs/php-enum, the effort should be small if the usage was in the recommended way:

  • private constants
  • final classes
  • no method overridden

Changes for migration:

  • Class definition should be changed from
/**
 * @method static Action VIEW()
 * @method static Action EDIT()
 */
final class Action extends Enum
{
    private const VIEW = 'view';
    private const EDIT = 'edit';
}

to

enum Action: string
{
    case VIEW = 'view';
    case EDIT = 'edit';
}

All places where the class was used as a type will continue to work.

Usages and the change needed:

Operation myclabs/php-enum native enum
Obtain an instance will change from $enumCase = Action::VIEW() $enumCase = Action::VIEW
Create an enum from a backed value $enumCase = new Action('view') $enumCase = Action::from('view')
Get the backed value of the enum instance $enumCase->getValue() $enumCase->value
Compare two enum instances $enumCase1 == $enumCase2
or
$enumCase1->equals($enumCase2)
$enumCase1 === $enumCase2
Get the key/name of the enum instance $enumCase->getKey() $enumCase->name
Get a list of all the possible instances of the enum Action::values() Action::cases()
Get a map of possible instances of the enum mapped by name Action::values() array_combine(array_map(fn($case) => $case->name, Action::cases()), Action::cases())
or
(new ReflectionEnum(Action::class))->getConstants()
Get a list of all possible names of the enum Action::keys() array_map(fn($case) => $case->name, Action::cases())
Get a list of all possible backed values of the enum Action::toArray() array_map(fn($case) => $case->value, Action::cases())
Get a map of possible backed values of the enum mapped by name Action::toArray() array_combine(array_map(fn($case) => $case->name, Action::cases()), array_map(fn($case) => $case->value, Action::cases()))
or
array_map(fn($case) => $case->value, (new ReflectionEnum(Action::class))->getConstants()))
