Hi All, I'm auto building some HTML forms from DM models, so I need a consistent way to map a property type to an html element. I thought I would just use the class name, but playing around I tried the following:
require 'rubygems' require 'dm-core' require 'dm-types' class T include DataMapper::Resource property :serial, Serial property :string, String property :slug, Slug property :text, Text property :dt, DateTime property :bool, Boolean property :float, Float property :bcrypt, BCryptHash property :enum, Enum[:a, :b, :c] property :flag, Flag[:a, :b, :c] end T.properties.each do |p| puts p.class end Which yields: DataMapper::Property::String DataMapper::Property::Slug DataMapper::Property::Text DataMapper::Property::DateTime DataMapper::Property::Boolean DataMapper::Property::Float DataMapper::Property::BCryptHash #<Class:0x1015a1d68> #<Class:0x10158b540> The last two (Enum & Flag) obviously didn't come out as expected. If I use T.enum.kind_of?(::DataMapper::Property::Enum) then it will show true. So the question, I suppose, is there a consistent way to look at all the properties and determine their type?
