Php eloquent enumeration

Anyone familiar with working with this library: https://github.com/eloquent/enumeration

I am having trouble converting an instance of a constant back to a constant value.

class TestEnum extends AbstractEnumeration
{
    const THING1 = 'test1';
    const THING2 = 'test2';
}

class DoStuff 
{
    public function action(TestEnum $test)
    {
        if($test === 'test1') {
            echo 'THIS WORKS';
        }
    }
}

$enumTest = TestEnum::THING1();
$doStuff = new DoStuff();
$doStuff->action($enumTest);

My goal is to get the method action to print "IT WORKS". Since $ test is an instance of TestEnum, this will not be true.

You are close, but there are two problems:

  • It matters. Thing1

    ! =Thing1

  • $test

    when viewed as a string, its key is calculated Thing1

    . You want its meaning$test->value()

Example:



class TestEnum extends AbstractEnumeration
{
    const THING1 = 'test1';
    const THING2 = 'test2';
}

class DoStuff
{
    public function action(TestEnum $test)
    {
        if($test->value() === 'test1') {
            echo 'THIS WORKS';
        }
    }
}

$enumTest = TestEnum::THING1();
$doStuff = new DoStuff();
$doStuff->action($enumTest);

Output:

THIS WORKS
