# ActiveaRecord::EnumSti ![CI](https://github.com/suusan2go/activerecord-enum_sti/workflows/CI/badge.svg)

ActiveRecord::EnumSti is a library to use enum values as STI type.

When you use enum, you might see the code like following.

```ruby
class Payment < ApplicationRecord
enum kind: { credit_card: 0, bank_transfer: 10, paypal: 20 }

def complete!
if credit_card?
# do something
elsif bank_transfer?
# do something
elsif paypal?
# do something
end
end

def cancel!
if credit_card?
# do something
elsif bank_transfer?
# do something
elsif paypal?
# do something
end
end
end
```

In this code, we change the behavior according to the value of enum.
But if we can change the class by the value of enum, this code will be more clear.

This gem allows you to split the class using the Single Table Inheritance (STI) in Rails depending on the value of the enum.

```ruby
class Payment < ApplicationRecord
include ActiveRecord::EnumSti
enum type: { credit_card: 0, bank_transfer: 10, paypal: 20 }

def complete!
raise NotImplementedError
end

def cancel!
raise NotImplementedError
end
end

class Payment::CreditCard < Payment
def complete!
# do something for creditcard!
end

def cancel!
# do something for creditcard!
end
end
```

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'activerecord-enum_sti'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install activerecord-enum_sti

## Usage
First of all, include `ActiveRecord::EnumSti` in your enum defined class.

```ruby
class Payment < ApplicationRecord
include ActiveRecord::EnumSti
enum type: { credit_card: 0, bank_transfer: 10, paypal: 20 }
# if you want to use the another column, you can use another enum column by below.
# self.inheritance_column = :your_enum_column
end
```

Then, please define a class for each enum values. The class name should be `::`

```ruby
class Payment::CreditCard < Payment
end
```

Now, you can use the value of enum for STI like below!

```
@credit_card = Payment::CreditCard.create
@credit_card.type
=> "credit_card"
Payment::CreditCard.all.to_sql
=> "SELECT \"payments\".* FROM \"payments\" WHERE \"payments\".\"type\" = 0"
```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
