[PHP-DEV] Enum + property hook getter

[Marc Bennewitz]

Hi all,






enum Month:int {
    case January = 1;
    case February = 2;
    case March = 3;
    case April = 4;
    case May = 5;
    case June = 6;
    case July = 7;
    case August = 8;
    case September = 9;
    case October = 10;
    case November = 11;
    case December = 12;

    public string $abbreviation {
        get => substr($this->name, 3);
    }
}



Is that something feasible and how complicated would that be to implement?

Best,
Marc Bennewitz

Enums are not allowed to include object properties and with property hooks it's now possible to define get-only dynamic properties. I just come across the following example and wonder if this could be allowed in the future: Means, allowing get-only property hooks on enums reducing the need to write "old school" getter methods.
