Casting to PHP 8.1 Enums

[squareborg]

Hey

Is there built in support for casting to PHP 8.1 enums? I've implemented a custom cast but unsure if thats the correct approach my code

class MyEnumCast implements Cast
{
    public function cast(DataProperty $property, mixed $value): mixed
    {
        $enumType = $property->types()->first();
        return $enumType::from($value);
    }
}
class SomeData extends Data
{
    public function __construct(
        #[WithCast(MyEnumCast::class)]
        public SomeEnum|null $the_value,

You can use the built in enum cast (

laravel-data/src/Casts/EnumCast.php

Line 10 in 913f748

class EnumCast implements Cast

). In v2 this cast will not be required anymore.

Looking forward to the release of V2.
