Simple Polymorphic Behavior with Enum Related Object and Delegation.

A more complete description is forthcoming.

Enumerate adds an `enumerate` command to all ActiveRecord models, enabling you to work with string or integer columns as if they were enums. The following features are added to your model: Validation - ensures that the field only receives accepted values Predicate Methods - adds ? and ! functions for each enum value Scopes - you can easily query for values of the enum

Goal of the Enumerated gem is to provide support to use enumerations on selection/drop down lists.

EnumeratedField is a library that provides some nice methods when a string column is used like an enumeration, meaning there is a list of allowable values for the string column.

Add groups option for enumerize.

Eliminates "Undeclared attribute type for enum" errors that occur when running migrations with multiple enum columns added in separate migrations. Automatically declares missing enum attributes as integers, preventing migration failures.

Enum extension introduces: enum supersets, enum mass-assign, easy localization, and more sweetness to Active Record enums.
