#==(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.nil? || arg.is_a?(self.class) ? super : self == self.class.find_by_enumerator!(arg)
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.
