Bitroleable

Store user's roles in an integer column of database. Have ability to store multi-roles for users.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bitroleable'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bitroleable

Usage

Add a column which will store role/roles as integer:

add_column :user, :role, :integer, null: false

And then tell a model that you use this gem functionality:

# app/models/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  roleable :role, [:user, :moderator, :admin], multi: true
end

So you can do this:

user = User.first
user.admin!
user.admin? # => true
user.user? # => false
user.role # => [:admin]
user.role = [:user, :moderator]
user.role # => [:user, :moderator]
user.save!

User.where_role(:admin).count # => 0
User.where_role(:user).count # => 1
User.where_role(:moderator).count # => 1
