Enum usecases: Replace switch/case blocks
friebe When migrating parts of my photoblog's import scripts to command classes I stumbled upon the following block of code:
switch ($group= $param->value('group')) {
case 'day': $strategy= new GroupByDayStrategy(); break;
case 'hour' : $strategy= new GroupByHourStrategy(); break;
default: throw new IllegalArgumentException('No such grouping method "'.$group.'"');
}
Except for putting this switch block into a GroupingStrategyFactory class to comply to DRY principles, this is basically OK, but I still wasn't happy having three (one interface, two concrete implementations) or four (for the case I'd add a factory) class files around for something this small.
