PHP 8.4.2 Released!

The BackedEnum interface

(PHP 8 >= 8.1.0)

Introducción

The BackedEnum interface is automatically applied to backed enumerations by the engine. It may not be implemented by user-defined classes. Enumerations may not override its methods, as default implementations are provided by the engine. It is available only for type checks.

Sinopsis de la Interfaz

interface BackedEnum extends UnitEnum {
/* Métodos */
public static from(int|string $value): static
public static tryFrom(int|string $value): ?static
/* Métodos heredados */
public static UnitEnum::cases(): array
}

As of PHP 8.1, while `UnitEnum` & `BackedEnum` cannot be implemented by user-defined classes, it seems they can be extended by user-defined interfaces and eventually be implemented by enums.

<?php

interface TestEnumInterface extends \BackedEnum
{
public function
foo(): string;
}

enum
TestEnum: string implements TestEnumInterface
{
case
CASE_1 = 'case 1';
case
CASE_2 = 'case 2';

public function
foo(): string
{
return
'bar';
}
}

?>
