unable to use class constants as translation keys

Hi,

I’d like to use this loader to prepare language strings for vue, but I’m using BenSampo/laravel-enum package, and my translation arrays for enums looks like this:

<?php

use App\Enums\OfferStatus;

return [
    OfferStatus::class => [
        OfferStatus::New => 'new',
        OfferStatus::Closed => 'closed',
    ],
];

laravel-translation-loader is unfortunately unable to parse such php file. I get the following error:

 error  in ./node_modules/@kirschbaum-development/laravel-translations-loader/all.js

Module build failed: Error: Unexpected PHP key: "staticlookup", details: {"kind":"staticlookup","loc":{"source":null,"start":{"line":3,"column":28,"offset":32},"end":{"line":3,"column":35,"offset":39}},"what":{"kind":"identifier","loc":{"source":null,"start":{"line":3,"column":4,"offset":8},"end":{"line":3,"column":28,"offset":32}},"resolution":"uqn","name":"OfferStatus"},"offset":{"kind":"constref","loc":{"source":null,"start":{"line":3,"column":30,"offset":34},"end":{"line":3,"column":35,"offset":39}},"name":"class"}}
...

would it be possible to implement lookup for class constants?

A workaround was to rewrite translation array like this:

<?php

return [
    'App\Enums\OfferStatus' => [
        1 => 'new',
        2 => 'closed',
    ],
];

but that’s not very elegant…

I guess a major functionality would have to be implemented into php-array-parser, I’ll just keep using a workaround for now, it gets the job done.

Yes, this is still a thing. To make this work we basically would have to run php file.php and process the result. It may not be so bad, but definitely introduces a few potential problems. I may look into this when I have some time, but feel free to send PRs for this. This would not need any updates on the php-array-parser side, it would be work done before that.
