The myclabs/php-enum library is a PHP package that provides an object-oriented approach to implementing enumerations, inspired by the SPL's SplEnum. Before PHP 8.1 introduced native enum support, this library offered a structured way to define and use enumerated types, enhancing code readability and type safety. By extending the base Enum class, developers can create enums with defined constants, ensuring that variables only hold valid, predefined values. This approach helps prevent errors related to invalid values and makes the codebase more maintainable.
Features
- Define enumerated types by extending the base Enum class
- Access enum values using static methods corresponding to constant names
- Validate values against the defined set of enum constants
- Retrieve all possible enum values and keys as arrays
- Compare enum instances for equality using the equals() method
- Serialize enum instances to JSON for data interchange
