MagicEnums
Introduction
RAILS 2.1+ only!
A nice way to have enums in Rails.
Enumerations are easy as integers, however I want to take a text approach to it as soon as rearranging integers can get fussy.
Install
sudo gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
sudo gem install zachinglis-magic_enums
Usage
In your models
enum_column :status, %w(draft private published)
# This also supplies you with: Post.status_choices
or
enum_column :gender, ['male', 'female']
- This also supplies you with: Person.gender_choices
It also supplies you with the handy method:
In your controller
In your controller, you can check the status post_record.status_is_published? or simply by calling person_record.gender to find it out in words, as you would normally.
You can also do find calls (Using named_scope) like so:
Post.status_is_published
or
Person.gender_is_male
