Active_enum

Overview

Active_enum is a powerful gem for Ruby on Rails that simplifies the process of defining enum classes and associating them with ActiveRecord attributes. It enhances the functionality of enums by providing internationalization (I18n) support, making it easier to manage and display localized enum values within your application. Whether you’re building forms or displaying attributes in views, Active_enum streamlines the way you handle various enumerations in your database.

By integrating seamlessly with ActiveRecord, Active_enum not only promotes cleaner code but also enhances the readability and maintainability of your Rails application. This gem is particularly useful for developers looking to leverage Rails' built-in features while adding a layer of sophistication to their data models.
