Hello,
Suppose we have this enum, that contains some constants within it:
enum DummyEnum: string
{
case A = 'A';
case B = 'B';
public const string ELEMENT_X = 'X';
public const string ELEMENT_Z = 'Z';
}And that we have a DTO with a scalar value in which we want to have a value of ELEMENT_*:
final readonly class DummyDTO
{
public function __construct(
/** @var DummyEnum::ELEMENT_* */
public string $element,
) {}
}If we try to map that DummyDTO using Valinor:
new MapperBuilder()
->mapper()
->map(
DummyDTO::class,
['element' => 'Z']
);We get this error:
Error while trying to map to `DummyDTO`: the type `DummyEnum::ELEMENT_*` for parameter `DummyDTO::__construct($element)` could not be resolved: cannot find enum case with pattern `DummyEnum::ELEMENT_*`.
It seems the library detects that the class is an enum, so it tries to map it using the enum cases.
If, instead, we use a class to reference the constants within it, as stated in the docs, it works fine:
final readonly class DummyClass
{
public const string ELEMENT_X = 'X';
public const string ELEMENT_Z = 'Z';
}
final readonly class DummyDTO
{
public function __construct(
/** @var DummyClass::ELEMENT_* */
public string $element,
) {}
}
new MapperBuilder()
->mapper()
->map(
DummyDTO::class,
['element' => 'Z']
);So, should we be able to map using the constants in an enum? Or that is a case that should not be possible?
Thank you!
