+# From
+
+The methods `from` and `tryFrom` do not exist on non-backed enums. When you have 
+a non-backed enum where the string value is exactly the same as it's key, but 
+you need `from` or `tryFrom` because of some library (like Laravel's validation), 
+this might be useful.
+
+## Usage
+
+```php
+use Henzeb\Enumhancer\Concerns\From;
+
+enum yourEnum {
+    use From;
+    
+    case MY_ENUM;
+    
+}
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+```php
+YourEnum::from('my_enum'); // will return YourEnum::MY_ENUM;
+YourEnum::from('MY_ENUM'); // will return YourEnum::MY_ENUM;
+YourEnum::from('CALLABLE'); // will throw error
+
+YourEnum::tryFrom('my_enum'); // will return YourEnum::MY_ENUM;
+YourEnum::tryFrom('MY_ENUM'); // will return YourEnum::MY_ENUM;
+YourEnum::tryFrom('DOESNOTEXIST'); // will return null
+```
+Note: Under the hood it uses the Makers functionality, so you can use lower-
+and uppercase names, and you can also use mappers that you have defined using 
+the `mappers` method.
+
+Note: This trait is not enabled by default when
+using the `Enumhancer` trait.
