Active record query enum column

Question

I have a query that looks like this

where("user_id = ? OR privacy = ?", user_id, :public_activity)

And the enum

enum privacy: [:public_activity, :friends_activity, :private_activity]

:public_activity doesn't work in this query and just gets sent as a string. Is there any clean way to write this query without just using an integer which will be hard to understand when reading the query?

Answer 1

You can use key in order to fetch integer, here is an example :

# app/models/user.rb
class Model < AR
  enum privacy: [:public_activity, :friends_activity, :private_activity]
end

Fetch status integer:

Model.privacies[:public_activity] => 0

The where method:

where("user_id = ? OR privacy = ?", user_id, Model.privacies[:public_activity])

按照enum的文档，您应该能够自动使用enum定义的范围：

Model.where(user_id: user_id).or(Model.public_activity)
