JTRailsEnum

JTRailsEnum let you use enum in your models. JTRailsEnum doesn't works exactly like enum in Ruby On Rails. It always add a prefix, which is a better behavior when you use multiple enums in a model. The prefix option is also not present in the Ruby On Rails 4.0.

Installation

JTRailsEnum is distributed as a gem, which is how it should be used in your app.

Include the gem in your Gemfile:

gem 'jt-rails-enum', '~> 1.0'

Usage

Basic usage

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

    jt_enum confirmation_status: [
        :waiting,
        :accepted,
        :refused
    ]

end

Scopes and some basic methods are automatically created for each value in the enum.

# User.where(confirmation_status: User.confirmation_statuses[:waiting]).first
user = User.confirmation_status_waiting.first

# User.where.not(confirmation_status: User.confirmation_statuses[:waiting]).first
user = User.confirmation_status_not_waiting.first

# Equivalent to user.update!(confirmation_status: User.confirmation_statuses[:accepted])
user.confirmation_status_accepted!

# Equivalent to user.confirmation_status == User.confirmation_statuses[:accepted]
user.confirmation_status_accepted?
