Rails 4 enum and simple_form with I18n

_form.html.erb

  <%= simple_form_for(@event) do |f| %>
    <div class="form-inputs">
      <%= f.input :status, collection: Event::STATUSES %>
      ...
  <% end %>

Event.rb

class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
  STATUSES = [ :cancelled, :in_progress, :completed, :invoiced ]
  enum status: STATUSES
  ...
end

You could just use Event.statuses.keys in the form ;)

@gabskoro It doesn't work cause simple_form I18n needs symbols and ActiveRecord Enum's keys are strings. Otherwise I would not create separate constant STATUSES. 😄

Another workaround would be Event.statuses.symbolize_keys.keys. Not pretty but does the job…

@MatthiasGi you are genius, thank you.

👍

@ShPakvel can you show me where you put translation ?

found it:

it:
  simple_form:
    labels:
      project:
        project_name: 'Nome progetto'
        tasks:
          task_name:  'Nome compito'

But this will (re)create objects at every turn.
I think the trick using a constant fits better, doesn't it?

@faouzzz

Where is the i18n translation for the enums in that example?

simple_form i18n translation for the enum in Event.rb example above is found at:

en:
  simple_form:
    options:
      event:
        status:
          cancelled: ...
