Switch to native casting

You should update your models to use Laravel 7 native casting. Remove the trait and move the casts from $enumCasts to $casts.

Trait based casting is still present, but is now deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.

--use BenSampo\Enum\Traits\CastsEnums;

class MyModel extends Model
{
-   use CastsEnums;

-   protected $enumCasts = [
+   protected $casts = [
        'foo' => Foo::class,
    ];
