### Add Helpers trait to an enum

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/enums-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Use the Helpers trait in any enum to gain access to helper methods. This example defines a backed enum with string cases.

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\Enums\Helpers;

enum NewsCategory: string
{
    use Helpers;

    case HotNews = 'hot-news';
    case RegularNews = 'regular-news';
    case PrivateNews = 'private-news';
}
```

### Use enum helper methods

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/enums-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates label(), values(), toArray(), options(), validationRule(), fromLabel(), tryFromName(), and isIn() methods. Labels are translated through lang/*.json files.

```php
NewsCategory::HotNews->label();         // "Hot News", translated through lang/*.json
NewsCategory::values()->all();          // ['hot-news', 'regular-news', 'private-news']
NewsCategory::toArray();                // ['hot-news' => 'Hot News', …] for a <select>
NewsCategory::options();                // EnumOption DTOs: value, label, name

$request->validate([
    'category' => ['required', NewsCategory::validationRule()],   // 'in:hot-news,regular-news,private-news'
]);

NewsCategory::fromLabel('Hot News');    // NewsCategory::HotNews
NewsCategory::tryFromName('Missing');   // null
NewsCategory::HotNews->isIn([NewsCategory::HotNews, NewsCategory::RegularNews]); // true
```
