Enums extend or use traits (reusability)-CodePudding

I have enums that must have additional methods for translation purposes:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Enums;

enum GenderEnum: string
{
    case MALE = 'male';
    case FEMALE = 'female';

    public function trans(): string
    {
        return trans('enums.' . $this->value);
    }
}

This method is trans and it will be duplicated in all enums, how can I avoid duplication? I can't extend it using traits in enums.

CodePudding user response：

Enum cannot be extended, and must not inherit

but you can use Traits, as long as the trait does not declare any properties
