Enum

This library extends myclabs/php-enum with ability to compare enums by their identity (if static methods are used to create them).

Usage

  1. Require this package:

    $ composer require pamil/enum

  2. Create your enum:

    <?php

use Pamil\Enum\Enum;

/**
 * @method static static active()
 * @method static static inactive()
 */
final class SampleEnum extends Enum
{
    protected const active = 1;
    protected const inactive = 2;
}

  3. Compare your enums by identity:

    var_dump(SampleEnum::active() === SampleEnum::active()); // true

Caveats

  • It does not work when creating enums by the constructor:

    var_dump(new SampleEnum(1) === SampleEnum::active()); // false

  • It does not work when you deserialise serialised enums:

    var_dump(unserialize(serialize(SampleEnum::active())) === SampleEnum::active());
