Use Claude to Generate PHP 8.1 Enum Classes

PHP 8.1 enums are great, but you always end up writing the same boilerplate helpers every time. Claude can scaffold the full enum with labels, casts, and dropdown helpers in one shot.

Create a PHP 8.1 backed string enum called OrderStatus with cases:
pending, processing, shipped, delivered, cancelled.
Add a label() method returning human-readable strings.
Add a color() method returning a Tailwind CSS badge colour class per status.

Claude knows to use string or int backing types, can add interface implementations, and generates clean docblocks. For Laravel projects, ask for the Eloquent cast class too:

Create an OrderStatus enum as above, plus:
- A matching Eloquent cast class so I can use $casts = ['status' => OrderStatus::class]
- A static options() method returning an array suitable for a Blade select input
- A tryFromLabel() static method for importing data from CSV

You can also ask Claude to refactor existing constant-based code to use enums:

// Paste your existing constants and ask:
// "Convert these constants to a PHP 8.1 backed int enum called UserRole 
//  and update any switch statements I paste to use match expressions."

Stop writing boilerplate enums — describe the cases and let Claude type.
