How to mapping type ENUMS in Doctrine?

Question

I am using PHP 8.1.6, Symfony 6 with Doctrine ORM. I've been trying to get it to work for a long time but with no luck. I have followed tutorials but they are usually from other older versions of Symfony or Doctrine and those options do not work, I will thank greatly if someone can give me a little example to be able to make it work and understand it better.

1. You need to create your enum,

2. Please create your mapping class in the type directory:

   public function convertToPHPValue($value, AbstractPlatform $platform)
   {
       $enumClass = $this->getEnum();
   
       return $enumClass::from($value);
   }
   
   
   public function convertToDatabaseValue($enum, AbstractPlatform $platform)
   {
       return $enum->value;
   }
   

3. Please register in doctrine.yaml in your dbal types

       types: 
            enumType: App\Doctrine\DBAL\Type\EnumType
   

4. In your Entity, you need to put the enumType in the orm column and enum in your Entity type
