Crash when using Blade's echo to render enum

[brunoalod]

• Laravel Version: 9.3.8
• PHP Version: 8.1.0

Description:

Not sure if this is a bug per se, but when using Blade's echo function to render an enum it throws an exception.
I guess this is expected, but it'd be nice to add a check for this in the echo function and either render the name if it's a non-backed enum, or the value for a backed enum.

framework/src/Illuminate/Support/helpers.php

Lines 109 to 121 in da859e7

	function e($value, $doubleEncode = true)
	{
	if ($value instanceof DeferringDisplayableValue) {
	$value = $value->resolveDisplayableValue();
	}
	if ($value instanceof Htmlable) {
	return $value->toHtml();
	}
	return htmlspecialchars($value ?? '', ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8', $doubleEncode);
	}
	}

Steps To Reproduce:

return view('my-view', [
    'enum' => MyEnum::myValue,
]);

// view
{{ $enum }}

htmlspecialchars(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, MyEnum given

Maybe something like this:

if ($value instanceof \UnitEnum) {
    $value = $value->value ?? $value->name;
}

I guess another option would be to use the Htmlable interface directly in enums.

Heya, thanks for submitting this.

This seems like a feature request or an improvement so I'm converting this to a discussion instead. It's best to post these in the discussions section in the future to get support for your idea. After that you may send a PR to the framework. Please only use the laravel/framework issue tracker to report bugs and issues with the framework.

Thanks!
