Need a toArray() fn that returns enum descriptions about laravel-enum HOT 5 CLOSED

@rsubr Yes, this looks good to me. I'll add something like it in when I get a chance.

I was also thinking about making a better default for the getDescription method where it could guess a description for a key name e.g. SuperAdministrator would become Super administrator.

Glad you find the package useful 👍

@rsubr I've added a toSelectArray method. If you have any other methods that you often add to an enum, I've made the base Enum class macroable so you can extend it as you wish within your application.

@BenSampo works great! 🙏

Thanks for making it extensible.

You have even updated the project documentation! 😲 🏆

Further testing shows that getDescription method defined in my UserType child class does not get called by toSelectArray. It's calling the method defined in the Enum base class function instead.

In the toSelectArray method, can you please change self::getDescription to static::getDescription so the overridden getDescription from the child class will be called?

There's the code that needs to be changed:

foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
//  $selectArray[$value] = self::getDescription($value);
    $selectArray[$value] = static::getDescription($value);
}

@rsubr Yeah well spotted - have just pushed a fix for that.
