EnumConcern - Effortless Enumeration Handling in PHP

EnumConcern is a newly introduced PHP package tailored to streamline the usage of PHP's Enum feature by providing a comprehensive suite of methods. Backed by Laravel Collections, EnumConcern aims to offer a seamless and familiar experience.

Key Features of EnumConcern:

Versatility: EnumConcern includes a variety of methods that enable easy handling of Enums, such as all, has, caseExists, and more.
Conversion Capabilities: The package offers methods to convert Enums to various formats like JSON, array, or key-value collections.
Customization: There's flexibility in obtaining subsets of values with the methods only, onlyAsArray, except, exceptAsArray, etc.
Utility Functions: Functions like randomValue, randomCase, first, and last provide extra utility.

EnumConcern Usage:

EnumConcern integrates smoothly into existing enums, enabling functions like translation and various checks. Here's an example of how to translate color Enums 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',
        };
    }
 
}
 
Color::all();
// Result: Illuminate\Support\Collection (7) [
//   [0] => 'Red',
//   [1] => 'Green',
//   [2] => 'Blue
// ]
 
Color::all('translateToTurkish');
// Result: Illuminate\Support\Collection (7) [
//   [0] => 'Kırmızı',
//   [1] => 'Yeşil',
//   [2] => 'Mavi
// ]
 
Color::has('Purple');
// false
 
Color::has('Mavi','translateToTurkish');
// true

With functions like Color::all('translateToTurkish'), you can retrieve translated values effortlessly.
