Ruby idiom to fill enumerated Og managed attributes
January 22, 2007
Quite often my Og managed objects (Entities) include an attribute that takes enumerated values. I use the following code snippet to augment Nitro's form generation helper to render a usable control.
TYPE_VALUES = Dictionary[
TEXT = 0, 'Article',
IMAGE = 1, 'Image',
VIDEO = 2, 'Video'
]
attr_accessor :type, Fixnum, :control => :options, :options_data => TYPE_VALUES
This code uses the Dictionary
class from the Facets
library. I hope you will find this useful as well ;-)
