I use ActiveRecord enums in my applications and it is common to display human readable text for enum values. For example, I have a class with an enum named *sex*:
class User < ApplicationRecord enum sex: %w(male female) end And I need to display translated text "男" for "male" and "女" for "female" in views. I searched official document and StackOverflow and found no any i18n translation pattern for Rails' enum. I thought enum should be regarded like attributes. Inspired by enumerize <https://github.com/brainspec/enumerize>, which provides a mechanism to access enum's human readable text with *_text* suffix methods. Maybe Rails could also provide similar methods? I am planing to open a feature PR to support this, but I am looking forward to get more discussion from you. In my implementation, I will define a i18n pattern for enum and provide a new method like what enumerize did, the below shows my assumption: # translations zh-CN: activerecord: models: user: 用户 attributes: user: sex: 性别 enums: user: sex: male: 男 female: 女 # And now you can get enum text with _text suffix: User.new(sex: "male").sex_text # => "男" # Additionaly and optionally, a new class method: User.humanized_sexes # => { "male" => "男", "female" => "女" } # with this, you can conveniently use it to render options for a select control in views -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
