From

The methods from and tryFrom do not exist on non-backed enums. When you have a non-backed enum where the string value is exactly the same as it's key, but you need from or tryFrom because of some library (like Laravel's validation) , this might be useful.

Usage

use Henzeb\Enumhancer\Concerns\From;

enum yourEnum {
    use From;

    case MY_ENUM;
}

Examples

YourEnum::from('my_enum'); // will return YourEnum::MY_ENUM;
YourEnum::from(0); // will return YourEnum::MY_ENUM;
YourEnum::from('MY_ENUM'); // will return YourEnum::MY_ENUM;
YourEnum::from('CALLABLE'); // will throw error

YourEnum::tryFrom('my_enum'); // will return YourEnum::MY_ENUM;
YourEnum::tryFrom('MY_ENUM'); // will return YourEnum::MY_ENUM;
YourEnum::tryFrom('DOESNOTEXIST'); // will return null

Note: Under the hood it uses the Makers functionality, so you can use lower- and uppercase names, and you can also use Mappers that you have defined using the mappers method and the Defaults.

Warning: Be aware that this feature will not work if you have a backed enum. Even when you use this trait, currently, the original methods take precedence.
