Enumerize
A Ruby gem for adding enumerated attributes with I18n support and ORM integrations like ActiveRecord and Mongoid.
What is Enumerize?
Enumerize is a Ruby gem that adds enumerated attribute support to Ruby classes, particularly in Rails applications. It allows developers to define attributes with a fixed set of values (like roles or statuses), providing I18n translations, validations, and helper methods. It solves the problem of managing predefined options in models without cluttering code with constants or manual validation logic.
Ruby on Rails developers and Rubyists using ORMs like ActiveRecord or Mongoid who need to handle enumerated fields (e.g., user roles, order statuses) with clean code and internationalization support.
Developers choose Enumerize for its seamless integration with popular ORMs, built-in I18n support, and rich feature set like scopes, predicate methods, and form helpers—all while keeping model definitions simple and maintainable.
