Instance Method Details

#==(other) ⇒ Object

This method compares two values by running to_sym on both sides. This allows comparisons like the following:

u.role == Role.superuser
u.role == :superuser

def ==(other)
  self.to_sym == (other.to_sym rescue false)
end

#to_ary ⇒ Object

This method overrides to_ary to return nil, which tells anything trying to flatten this we are already flat. This is necessary because we are overriding active records method missing, which must do this somewhere in the bowels of rails.

def to_s
  self.send("#{acts_as_label_label_column}")
end

#to_sym ⇒ Object

This method overrides the to_sym method to return the downcased symbolized system label value. This method is particularly useful in conjunction with role-based authorization systems.
