Installation

composer require koomai/constants:^1.0, _(*4)

Usage

1. Simply extend your class from Koomai\Constants\Constants and define your constants. E.g.,

<?php

namespace App\Constants;

use Koomai\Constants\Constants as AbstractConstants;

class LeadStatus extends AbstractConstants
{
    const ATTEMPTED = 'attempted';
    const CONTACTED = 'contacted';
    const OPPORTUNITY = 'opportunity';
    const DISQUALIFIED = 'disqualified';
}

1. For internal use in your code, you just reference the constant name directly as usual:

LeadStatus::CONTACTED, _(*5)

1. When doing look-ups, e.g. via user input or as a parameter in a method, use the static get() method:

LeadStatus::get($status), _(*6)

It will return $status if it's a valid constant value or throw an InvalidConstantException., _(*7)

1. If you don't want an exception thrown, you can check if the value exists first:

LeadStatus::has($status), _(*8)

1. To retrieve an array of all the constants in a class:

LeadStatus::all(), _(*9)
