This PR adds support for using backed enum values as route parameters.
Example/Reasoning
I have a project where I have 2 models, Model1 and Model2. Where Model1 hasMany Model2.
Each Model1 can have one Model2 for each backed enum case. In my DB there is a unique constraint on
model1_id
andenum_value
.Then I have a route
/model1/{model1}/model2/{model2:enum_value}
(scoped).This works fine, except every time I want to generate an URL from a named route I have to specify
$model2->enum_value->value
instead of just$model2
.Breaking changes
I can't think of any, except for if you expect an
Object of class <YourBackedEnum> could not be converted to string
error. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.
