activerecord-postgres_enum
Adds migration and schema.rb support for PostgreSQL enum data types in ActiveRecord.
What is activerecord-postgres_enum?
ActiveRecord::PostgresEnum is a Ruby gem that integrates PostgreSQL's native enum data type into ActiveRecord's migration and schema management system. It solves the problem of ActiveRecord lacking built-in support for PostgreSQL enums in `schema.rb` and migrations, allowing developers to use enums as first-class database column types.
Rails developers using PostgreSQL who want to leverage PostgreSQL's enum data type in their ActiveRecord models and migrations.
Developers choose this gem because it provides a clean, ActiveRecord-native way to manage PostgreSQL enums, ensuring compatibility with Rails' schema dumping and loading mechanisms without manual SQL workarounds.
