README

This repository aims to provide simple enumeration implementation to Symfony.

Installation

Add the bundle as a dependency with Composer

$ composer require yokai/enum-bundle

Enable the bundle in the kernel

<?php
return [
    Yokai\EnumBundle\YokaiEnumBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Getting started

Let's take an example : our application has some members and each member has a status which can be :

• new, labelled as "New"
• validated, labelled as "Validated"
• disabled, labelled as "Disabled"

Creating the enum

We first need to create the class that will handle our enum :

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Enum;

use Yokai\EnumBundle\Enum;

class StatusEnum extends Enum
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct(['New' => 'new', 'Validated' => 'validated', 'Disabled' => 'disabled']);
    }
}

That's it, the bundle now knows your enum.

note : every enum has a name. That name is the enum identifier across your application. You can use any string for that purpose, as long it is unique. Using the enum class here is a very common way to do.

Configuring validation

We will now be able to configure Member's model validation :

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Model;

use App\Enum\StatusEnum;
use Yokai\EnumBundle\Validator\Constraints\Enum;

class Member
{
     #[Enum(enum: StatusEnum::class)]
    public ?string $status = null;
}

Setting up the form

Now that validation is configured, the only thing we have to do is to add a field on our form :

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Form\Type;

use App\Model\Member;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;

class MemberType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
    {
        $builder
            // Because we added the #[Enum] constraint to Member::$status property
            // the bundle will be able to find out the appropriate form type automatically
            ->add('status')
        ;
    }

    public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver): void
    {
        $resolver->setDefault('data_class', Member::class);
    }
}

Rendering enum label

Display label of any enum value within a Twig template :

{{ member.status|enum_label('App\\Enum\\StatusEnum') }}

Translating your enum

Now, maybe you will need to display the enum label in different locales.

We got you covered here with a dedicated base class for your translated enums :

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Enum;

use Symfony\Contracts\Translation\TranslatorInterface;
use Yokai\EnumBundle\TranslatedEnum;

class StatusEnum extends TranslatedEnum
{
    public function __construct(TranslatorInterface $translator)
    {
        parent::__construct(['new', 'validated', 'disabled'], $translator, 'status.%s');
    }
}

Now you can create the translation keys in your catalog :

# translations/messages.en.yaml
status.new: New
status.validated: Validated
status.disabled: Disabled
# translations/messages.fr.yaml
status.new: Nouveau
status.validated: Validé
status.disabled: Désactivé

note : the translation key format is generated using the $transPattern constructor argument, which must be valid a sprintf pattern (containing one %s)
