Utilities

EnumUtils trait

Adds a set of helpers to any backed enum.

use Pentacore\LaravelUtils\Concerns\EnumUtils;

enum Status: string
{
    use EnumUtils;

    case Active = 'active';
    case Pending = 'pending';
    case Archived = 'archived';
}
Method Description
Status::names() Array of case names.
Status::values() Array of backing values.
Status::array() Associative array [value => name].
Status::validationRule() Rule::in(values) for use in form requests / validators.
Status::iterator() Generator keyed by case name.

Status::commaSeparatedValues() Comma-separated string of values.
