[FEATURE] Add TypeConverter for enums

With PHP 8.1 we got Enums, to use them also in our extbase actions, a new TypeConverter is added with this patch.

The EnumConverter is automatically used if the target type is an enum.

Install

composer req andersundsehr/extbase_enum_converter

Description

With PHP 8.1 we got Enums to use them also in our extbase actions, a new TypeConverter was added with this feature. \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverter\EnumConverter

Example

Given an enum like this one:

enum ClosedStates
{
  case hide;
  case show;
  case all;
}

We can now use it like this in any extbase action:

public function overviewAction(ClosedStates $closed = ClosedStates::hide): ResponseInterface
{

The URL argument can be send as [closed]=show and is automatically converted to an instance of ClosedStates::show

Impact

Enums can now be used as extbase action arguments.
