Fast Forward Enum

fast-forward/enum is a PHP 8.3+ library for enum ergonomics, reusable enum catalogs, and small behavioral helpers that stay framework-agnostic.

The package is designed for developers who want:

• convenience helpers such as values(), names(), maps, and lookups
• reusable enum catalogs grouped by domain instead of one giant Common bucket
• a clean, typed way to model small behaviors such as reversible sort directions or state-machine transitions
• documentation and examples that are approachable for first-time users

If you are new to the package, start with :doc:`getting-started/index` and :doc:`usage/index`. They explain the difference between traits, EnumHelper, and the packaged enums, which is the main conceptual jump for most first-time users.

If you already know the problem you want to solve, continue with :doc:`api/index` and :doc:`advanced/index` for helper method details, namespace design, workflow traits, and integration guidance.
