has_bitfield

A rails gem for easy bitfield support.

Has support form multiple bitfield columns. See github.com/aka47/has_flags for a gem with a different feature set.

Install

gem install has_bitfield

Usage

class MyClass << ActiveRecord::Base
  has_bitfield :column_name,
       1 => :flag1,
       2 => :flag2,
       3 => :flag3
end

Attribute Accessors

readers: name, name?
writer: name=(v)
where 'name' is the name of the bit field.  the (v) parameter can be true/false, "true"/"false", 0/1, 'yes'/'no',
or :yes/:no.  specifically, the following (v) inputs evaluate to true:
  [ true, 'true', 'yes', :yes, 'ok', :ok, 1, '1' ]
all others, including nil evaluate false.
groups_name = [Array of flags] , not the plural
groups_name << name
groups_name
group_ids
group_ids = [Array of flag-ids]

The database table must include the column ‘column_name’ as an integer.

Defaults are set in per column ‘after_initialized’ callbacks. If your model needs to use this callback, define it in the class and invoke: initialize_column_name.

class MyClass << ActiveRecord::Base
  has_bitfield :my_flags,
       1 => {:flag1  => { :default => false }},
       2 => :flag2,
       3 => :flag3

  after_initialize :initialize_my_flags
end

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
