+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:
+ #
+ # Conversation.active
+ # Conversation.archived
+ #
+ # 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.
