Enumerations for Ruby with some magic powers!

Overview

EnumerateIt is a powerful Ruby gem designed to simplify the declaration and utilization of enumerations, making it an excellent tool for developers looking for flexibility beyond the built-in enumeration support in Rails. With its ability to create enumerations in any Ruby project and to encapsulate behavior within the enumerations themselves, EnumerateIt brings additional structure and clarity to your codebase.

Whether you're working with ActiveRecord or a plain Ruby class, EnumerateIt offers a seamless experience. Its functionality not only enhances code readability but also promotes code reuse, making it a worthy addition for both Rails and Ruby projects alike.

Features

  • Flexible Usage: Works independently of Rails, allowing integration into any Ruby application seamlessly.
  • Custom Class Definitions: Define enumerations as classes for enhanced behavior encapsulation and reuse.
  • Automatic Constant Generation: Automatically generates constants for each enumeration value, providing cleaner access within your code.
  • Diverse Sorting Options: Sort enumerations based on different criteria (name, value, or translation) using the sort_by class method.
  • Iterative Access: Easily iterate through enumeration values and their translations, ensuring dynamic usability in your applications.
  • Locale File Support: Generate locale files for translations effortlessly, facilitating internationalization in your projects.
  • JSON Representation: Quickly convert enumerations into JSON format for use in APIs or data interchange.
  • ActiveRecord Compatibility: Use enumerations in any class context, enhancing model structure without being limited to ActiveRecord.
