Laravel support for spatie/enum

This package provides extended support for our spatie/enum package in Laravel.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require spatie/laravel-enum

Usage

Casting

Chances are that if you're working in a Laravel project, you'll want to use enums within your models. This package provides a trait you can use in these models, to allow allow automatic casting between stored enum values and enum objects.

use Spatie\Enum\HasEnums;

class TestModel extends Model
{
    use HasEnums;

    protected $enums = [
        'status' => TestModelStatus::class,
    ];
}

By using the HasEnums trait, you'll be able to work with the status field like so:

$model = TestModel::create([
    'status' => StatusEnum::DRAFT(),
]);

You can set the value of an enum field with its textual value:

$model->status = 'published';

This can be useful when filling data from a validated request:

$model->fill($request->validated());

// …

$model->status = StatusEnum::PUBLISHED();

// …

$model->status->isEqual(StatusEnum::ARCHIVED());

In some cases, enums should be stored as integer (index) in the database.

By using the $casts property you can cast your status attribute to int or integer and the trait will store the index instead of the value.

Roadmap

• [ ] Models fields
  • [x] Automatic value casting #1
  • [x] Mapping support spatie/enum#25
• [ ] Model scopes #4
• [ ] Validation #5
• [ ] Request Transformation #7

Scopes

The HasEnums trait also provides some useful scopes to query your database. These scopes will also take the optional mapping you provided into account.

Post::whereEnum('status', StatusEnum::DRAFT());

Post::whereNotEnum('status', StatusEnum::PUBLISHED());

You may provide multiple enums as an array:

Post::whereEnum('status', [StatusEnum::DRAFT(), StatusEnum::ARCHIVED()]);

Post::whereNotEnum('status', [StatusEnum::PUBLISHED()]);

You may also provide textual input:

Post::whereEnum('status', 'archived');
Post::whereEnum('status', 'legacy archived value');
