Localization for Enum route binding

[Mushr0000m]

Laravel as built-in Enum route binding https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/routing#implicit-enum-binding but from what I see in the code it take the value of the Backed Enum. In my case I have a slug() method that return a translated value that I would like to use in the URL.

enum Test: string
{

    case Foo = 'foo';
    case Bar = 'bar';


    public function slug()
    {
        return match ($this) {
            self::Foo  => __("lorem-ipsum"),
            self::Bar => __("dolor-sit-amet"),
        };
    }

}

You can use the custom route binding?

That was one of my first test and it kind of works because by doing so I'll get in my controller the right Enum. But when creating a link you can't write something like URL::route('app.test', Test::Foo) you must write URL::route('app.test', ['help' => Test::Foo->slug()]) . So it's not working like a route model binding in that aspect because Eloquent model uses the UrlRoutable interface that have a method getRouteKey() that serve the purpose to do the opposite of explicit route binding from the link you gave, so the app knows what value to take from the object to put in the URL.

And I can't find a way on the Enum to 'tell' Laravel that the slug() is what should be set in the link when creating a URL instead of the value of the Enum.
