Hi, We have a project at my workplace which heavily relies on a custom in-house extension to ActiveRecord which does this (but ofcourse in an uglier way). It'd be great if this was a builtin feature.
Hardcoding class names in table rows makes for tedious migrations whenever classes are renamed. Good luck! :) On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 6:00 PM, Zac Moody <xanh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I was thinking that someone might want the type column used with > Single-Table Inheritance to be an Enum rather than a string.
