Additional methods

AbstractEnumType provides few additional methods, which might be useful.

If you need to check if some string value exists in the array of ENUM values:

BasketballPositionType::isValueExist('Pitcher');
// Will return: false

If you need to get value in the readable format:

BasketballPositionType::getReadableValue(BasketballPositionType::SHOOTING_GUARD);
// Will return: Shooting Guard

If you need to get all values:

BasketballPositionType::getValues();
// Will return: ['PG', 'SG', 'SF', 'PF', 'C']

If you need to return a random value:

BasketballPositionType::getRandomValue();
// Will randomly return one of the available values: 'PG', 'SG', 'SF', 'PF', 'C'
