SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enforces type-safe, finite value sets in Laravel applications by introducing backed enums with labels and business logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backed enums: define enum cases with string or int values for robust domain modeling.
  • UI and validation helpers: labels and traits to simplify UI binding and validation.
  • Usage guidance: align models, DTOs, and validation rules to ensure consistent enum usage.

Quick Start

Define a backed enum in App\Enums and use it in models and validation to enforce a finite set of values.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement backed enums with labels in Laravel?

Implement type-safe backed enums with labels in Laravel by defining enum cases with string or int values and applying helper traits. This standardizes enum usage across models, validation, and UI components for robust domain modeling.

What is the best way to standardize enum usage across Laravel models and validation?

Standardize enum usage across Laravel by aligning models, DTOs, and validation rules with backed enums. Applying helper traits ensures consistent type-safety and simplifies UI binding and dropdown generation.

Can I use backed enums to generate dropdown options in Laravel UI components?

Yes, you can generate dropdown options in Laravel UI components using helper traits provided for backed enums. These traits simplify UI binding by mapping enum cases to their defined label attributes.

Does Laravel support type-safe enums for finite value sets in domain modeling?

Laravel supports type-safe enums for finite value sets by introducing backed enums with labels and business logic. This enforces robust domain modeling by defining enum cases with specific string or int values.

Why should I use backed enums instead of constants for Laravel validation rules?

Use backed enums instead of constants for Laravel validation to enforce a strict, finite set of values with type-safety. Backed enums provide label attributes and helper traits that simplify validation and UI binding.

When do I need to use backed enums in a Laravel application?

You need to use backed enums in a Laravel application when enforcing type-safe, finite value sets for domain modeling. They are essential for standardizing data across models, DTOs, and validation rules.
