EnumConcern in PHP: Simplify Enumeration Handling

Introducing the recently launched PHP package, EnumConcern, meticulously designed to enhance the utilization of PHP’s Enum feature by offering an exhaustive array of methods. Backed by the potency of Laravel Collections, EnumConcern aims to provide a user experience that is both seamless and familiar.

Key Features of EnumConcern:
Versatility: EnumConcern encompasses an array of methods that facilitate convenient manipulation of Enums, including functions like all, has, caseExists, and more.

Conversion Capabilities: The package equips you with methods to effortlessly convert Enums into various formats such as JSON, array, or key-value collections.

Customization: Enjoy the freedom to acquire subsets of values using methods like only, onlyAsArray, except, exceptAsArray, etc.

Utility Functions: Additional utility functions like randomValue, randomCase, first, and last offer added convenience.

EnumConcern Usage:
EnumConcern seamlessly integrates into existing Enums, offering functions like translation and various checks. To illustrate, here’s how color Enums can be translated to Turkish:

_namespace App\Enums;

use EmreYarligan\EnumConcern\EnumConcern;

enum Color: string
{
use EnumConcern;

case RED = “Red”;
case GREEN = “Green”;
case BLUE = “Blue”;

public function translateToTurkish(): string
{
return match ($this) {
self::RED => ‘Kırmızı’,
self::GREEN => ‘Yeşil’,
self::BLUE => ‘Mavi’,
};
}
}
_
Functions like Color::all(‘translateToTurkish’) simplify the retrieval of translated values.
