Random Enum

Utilities for selecting random elements from a PHP Enum.

Installation

composer install natepisarski/random-enum

Usage

use Natepisarski\RandomEnum\RandomEnum

enum Days: string {
  use RandomEnum;
 
  case Sunday = 'sunday';
  case Monday = 'monday';
  case Tuesday = 'tuesday';
}

Days::randomCase(); // === Days::Sunday

Days::randomValue(); // === 'sunday'

Days::randomCaseArray(count: 3, allowRepeats: false); // === [Days::Tuesday, Days::Monday, Days::Sunday]

Days::randomValueArray(count: 3, allowRepeats: true); // === ['tuesday', 'monday', 'sunday']

Error Handling

The package provides 2 exceptions to handle caveats:

• RandomEnumSizeException can be thrown if
  • ::randomCase() or randomValue() is called on an empty Enum
  • A count greater than the number of cases is passed to ::randomCaseArray()
• RandomEnumValueException
  • ::randomValue() / ::randomValueArray is called on an Enum with no backing values
