Laravel Enum Casting

This package brings enums casting into Laravel projects.

Install

Database

We suppose that enums stored in database either as set or as json object.

To cast enums from set datatype, use set keyword.

JSON

["superuser","adminstrator"]

To cast enums from json datatype, use json or array keyword.

Usage

See also Laravel documentation

AsArray

Use AsArray to cast enums as a simple array. Provide datatype and Enum class as arguments:

use \Codewiser\Enum\Castable\AsArray;

/**
 * The attributes that should be cast.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $casts = [
    'roles' => AsArray::class . ':set,' . MyEnum::class,
];

AsArrayObject

Use AsArrayObject to cast enums as ArrayObject. Provide datatype and Enum class as arguments:

use \Codewiser\Enum\Castable\AsArrayObject;

/**
 * The attributes that should be cast.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $casts = [
    'roles' => AsArrayObject::class . ':json,' . MyEnum::class,
];

AsCollection

Use AsCollection to cast enums as Collection. Provide datatype and Enum class as arguments. Optionally you may pass custom collection class name:

use \Codewiser\Enum\Castable\AsCollection;

/**
 * The attributes that should be cast.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $casts = [
    'roles' => AsCollection::class . ':array,' . MyEnum::class . ',' . MyCollection::class,
];

Arguments order has no matter.
