module ActiveRecord
  # Declare an enum attribute where the values map to integers in the database,
  # but can be queried by name. Example:
  #
  #   class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
  #     enum status: [ :active, :archived ]
  #   end
  #
  #   # conversation.update! status: 0
  #   conversation.active!
  #   conversation.active? # => true
  #   conversation.status  # => "active"
  #
  #   # conversation.update! status: 1
  #   conversation.archived!
  #   conversation.archived? # => true
  #   conversation.status    # => "archived"
  #
  #   # conversation.update! status: 1
  #   conversation.status = "archived"
  #
  #   # conversation.update! status: nil
  #   conversation.status = nil
  #   conversation.status.nil? # => true
  #   conversation.status      # => nil
  #
  # Scopes based on the allowed values of the enum field will be provided
  # as well. With the above example, it will create an +active+ and +archived+
  # scope.
  #
  # You can set the default value from the database declaration, like:
  #
  #   create_table :conversations do |t|
  #     t.column :status, :integer, default: 0
  #   end
  #
  # Good practice is to let the first declared status be the default.
  #
  # Finally, it's also possible to explicitly map the relation between attribute and
  # database integer with a +Hash+:
  #
  #   class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
  #     enum status: { active: 0, archived: 1 }
  #   end
  #
  # Note that when an +Array+ is used, the implicit mapping from the values to database
  # integers is derived from the order the values appear in the array. In the example,
  # <tt>:active</tt> is mapped to +0+ as it's the first element, and <tt>:archived</tt>
  # is mapped to +1+. In general, the +i+-th element is mapped to <tt>i-1</tt> in the
  # database.
  #
  # Therefore, once a value is added to the enum array, its position in the array must
  # be maintained, and new values should only be added to the end of the array. To
  # remove unused values, the explicit +Hash+ syntax should be used.
  #
  # In rare circumstances you might need to access the mapping directly.
  # The mappings are exposed through a class method with the pluralized attribute
  # name:
  #
  #   Conversation.statuses # => { "active" => 0, "archived" => 1 }
  #
  # Use that class method when you need to know the ordinal value of an enum:
  #
  #   Conversation.where("status <> ?", Conversation.statuses[:archived])
  #
  # Where conditions on an enum attribute must use the ordinal value of an enum.
