Overview

String Enums

StringEnum is a concern that makes it easy to work with enums. Include the module, then invoke the class method string_enum with the attribute name followed by the list of valid values. This will add checks, writers, and constants for each value.

Example

A class declares string_enum status: ['pending', 'in progress', 'completed'], which adds the following… … checks:

• pending?

• in_progress?

• completed?

… and writers:

• mark_pending

• mark_in_progress

• mark_completed

… and constants:

• STATUS_PENDING

• STATUS_IN_PROGRESS

• STATUS_COMPLETED

Note that the string values with spaces are snake cased to provide method and constant names.
