Enumerative

Provides enumeration functionality.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'enumerative'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install enumerative

Usage

Create an enumeration class and include the modiule.

class Color

  def self.valid_keys
    %w(
      black
      blue
      green
    )
  end

  include Enumerative::Enumeration # this must come after ::valid_keys

end

Declare the enumeration in an ActiveModel.

class Vehicle

  include Enumerative::HasEnumeration

  # add_column :vehicles, :color, :string, :limit => 35

  has_enumeration :color, :from => Color

end

Translate the enumeration using localization:

en:
  enumerations:
    color:
      black: Black
      blue: Blue
      green: Green

Use the enumeration:

vehicle = Vehicle.create( :color => 'black' )

vehicle.attributes['color'] # => black
vehicle.color               # => #<Color:0x10702d5e8 @key="black">
vehicle.color.key           # => black
vehicle.color.value         # => Black
vehicle.color.to_s          # => black
