ChronologicalEnum

ChronologicalEnum is a Ruby gem that extends ActiveRecord enums to provide dynamic scopes for enums with values in a specified order.

For example

class MyClass < ApplicationRecord
  enum status: { created: 0, processed: 1, finished: 2 }, _chronological: true
end

# Scope examples
MyClass.after_created # returns records with status greater than created
MyClass.before_finished # returns records with status lower than finished
MyClass.after_or_processed # returns records with status greater or equal to processed
MyClass.before_or_processed # returns records with status lower or equal to finished

It also supports prefixes and suffixes.

class MyClass < ApplicationRecord
  enum status: { created: 0, processed: 1, finished: 2 }, _prefix: 'my', _suffix: 'enum',_chronological: true
end

MyClass.after_my_status_enum # returns records with status greater than created

The enum values have to be integers otherwise ChronologicalEnum would not work.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'chronological_enum'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install chronological_enum

Just add _chronological: true to your enum definition as shown above.
