Rails integration ​

A Generic type for ActiveRecord relations ​

Literal provides a type for ActiveRecord::Relation objects, parameterized by the model class. It works great with Phlex and ViewComponent.

ruby
class Components::ArticlesList < Components::Base
  extend Literal::Properties

  prop :articles, ActiveRecord::Relation(Article)
end

Using Literal Enums in ActiveRecord models ​

Literal provides a :literal_enum attribute type for ActiveRecord and ActiveModel models. This allows you to replace Rails’ built-in enums with Literal enums.

ruby
class Article < ApplicationRecord
  class Status < Literal::Enum(Integer)
    Draft = new(1)
    Published = new(2)
  end

  attribute :status, :literal_enum, type: Status
end

Set array: true to allow multiple values. Maks sure the database column is set up to accept an array of your value type.

ruby
attribute :status, :literal_enum, type: Status, array: true
