Instance Method Details

#==(arg) ⇒ Object

Whether or not this record is equal to the given value. If the value is a String, then it is compared against the enumerator. Otherwise, ActiveRecord’s default equality comparator is used.

def ==(arg)
  arg.is_a?(String) ? self == self.class.find_by_enumerator!(arg) : super
end

#enumerator ⇒ Object

A helper method for getting the current value of the enumerator attribute for this record. For example, if this record’s model is enumerated by the attribute name, then this will return the current value for name.

def enumerator
  send(enumerator_attribute)
end

#in?(*list) ⇒ Boolean

Determines whether this enumeration is in the given list.

For example,

color = Color.find_by_name('red')   # => #<Color id: 1, name: "red">
color.in?('green')                  # => false
color.in?('red', 'green')           # => true

def in?(*list)
  list.any? {|item| self === item}
end

#to_s ⇒ Object

For example,

color = Color.find_by_name('red')   # => #<Color id: 1, name: "red">
color.to_s                          # => "red"
