[TYPO3-mvc] Enumeration

[dennis ahrens]

Hi Felix,

an enumeration is something like a datatype.

e.g.: you have the property

/**
 * @var string
 */
protected $type;

only the values

string
int
date

are valid in this case.

PHP does not ship any support for enumerations like java does. I'm
interested in the "best practice" to realize this with PHP
respectively extbase.

regards
dennis
