class PostStatus extends BaseEnum
{
    const PENDING = 0;
    const APPROVED = 1;
    const REJECTED = 2;

$status = new PostStatus(PostStatus::PENDING);

// or you can use the magic methods

$status = PostStatus::PENDING();

Static methods

PostStatus::getConstantsByValue() // ['PENDING', 'APPROVED', 'REJECTED', 'POSTPONED']
PostStatus::getConstantsByName() // ['PENDING' => 0, 'APPROVED' => 1, 'REJECTED' => 2, 'POSTPONED' => 3]
PostStatus::isValidName(1) // false
PostStatus::isValidName('APPROVED') // true
PostStatus::isValidValue(1) // true
PostStatus::isValidValue('Approved') // false
PostStatus::listData() // ['Pending', 'Approved', 'Rejected', 'Postponed']
PostStatus::getLabel(1) // Approved
PostStatus::getValueByName('Approved') // 1

Type-Hint and Validation Rules

<?php

use App\Enums\PostStatus;

class Post

   /**
    * @var integer status 
    */
    public $status;
    
    public function setStatus(PostStatus $status)
    {
        $this->status = $status->getValue();
    }

    public function getStatus(): PostStatus
    {
        return $this->status;
