EnumLocalI18n

Help I18n to work fine with ActiveRecord::Enum feature.

This gem can help you work fine with ActiveRecord supported Enum method and I18n localization

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'enum_local_i18n'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install enum_local_i18n

Required Rails 4.1.x

In model file:

class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
  enum status: { "preparation" => 0, "active" => 1, "archive" => 2 }

  def self.restricted_statuses
    statuses.except :preparation
  end
end

You can call:

order = Order.first
order.update_attribute :status, 0
order.status
# > nopayment
order.status_i18n # if you have an i18n file defined as following, it will return "未支付".
# > 未支付

You can also fetch the translated enum collection, if you need to:

Order.statuses_i18n

I18n local file example:

# config/locales/model/order.zh-cn.yml
zh-cn:
  enums:
    order:
      status:
        finished: 完成
        nopayment: 未支付
        failed: 失败
        destroyed: 已删除

If you want to use enum feature, field of your table can't be named with reference. When it is named with 'reference' and define enum in model file, there will be raised an error as below:

NoMethodError: super: no superclass method `enum' for...
