Rails - Enumerize case insensitive-CodePudding

In a model I have in a Rails project, one field is used with Enumerize as follows:

enumerize :status, in: %i[draft active], default: :active

If I used "active" as input it works, "ACTIVE" however gives an inclusion error.

I tried to get around this by registering a before_validation callback

before_validation :downcase_fields

def downcase_fields
  status.downcase! if status.present?
end

but this doesn't work as well.

How can I make an enumerizable field case insensitive in Rails?

CodePudding user response：

Your code looks fine, You can check on console by adding debugger in downcase_fields methos. Or you can simply add the validation check : uniqueness: {case_sensitive: false}

CodePudding user response：

Enumerize doesn't allow setting any value that is not one of the original acceptable set. For example if this is how the field is set in the model

enumerize :status, in: %i[draft active], default: :active

trying status = :Active would not even set the field.

The only I could do it, was through the setter (when the value is being set)

  def status=(value)
    super(value&.downcase)
  end
