This package provides a trait with helper methods for enum management and translation in Laravel.

Important: This package has been rebuilt as of v2 to work with native PHP enums instead of class constants. As such, PHP 8.1 is now required. See UPGRADE.md for more details.

• PHP 8.1 or higher
• Will only work with backed enums

composer require bjerke/laravel-enums

namespace App\Enums;

use Bjerke\Enum\HasTranslations;
use Bjerke\Enum\UsesTranslations;

enum PostStatus: int implements HasTranslations {
    use UsesTranslations;

    case DRAFT = 10;
    case PUBLISHED = 20;
    case ARCHIVED = 30;
}

Which will then allow you to define the translated versions of these values in Laravel translation file called enums.php:

// ../resources/lang/en/enum.php

use App\Enums\MyEnum;

return [
    'post_status' => [
        PostStatus::DRAFT->value => 'Draft',
        PostStatus::PUBLISHED->value => 'Published'
        PostStatus::ARCHIVED->value => 'Archived'
    ]
];

Which in turn will enable you to fetch the translated values as:

PostStatus::DRAFT->translate(); // return translation for this case
PostStatus::getTranslations(); // return all translations

There's also a helper method for retrieving cases:

PostStatus::getCasesAsArray() - Returns an array of "enum key" => "enum value"
