Map by name=>value

[dionysiosarvanitis]

Hi, is there any way to get something like below:

class SaveStatus extends Enum
{
    public static function toArray(): array
    {
        return array_combine(static::getNames(), static::getValues());
    }
}

I use names instead of indexes so the mapping should be name=>value

Hey,

you've already posted the solution. Just put this into your own base Enum class and extend this with all your enums.

namespace App\Enums;

abstract class Enum extends \Spatie\Enum\Enum
{
    public static function toArray(): array
    {
        return array_combine(static::getNames(), static::getValues());
    }
}

final class SaveStatus extends \App\Enums\Enum {}

Hi! Thank you for answering.

I tried what you said, but I got error on initialization. Constructor's 3rd argument $index must be an int. Overriding it is not enough because getIndex() must also return int.

public function __construct(?string $name = null, ?string $value = null, ?int $index = null)

self::$cache[$class][$name]['index'] = static::make($name)->getIndex();

Good point, right now we depend on the toArray() method in resolve logic.
This should be changed. I think that this is changed by @brendt in v3 #56
For the moment you could add your own method to achieve what you need.

@dionysiosarvanitis I've added a PR #58 that drops the usage of toArray() in the Enum class itself.

Works great. Thanks!
