这是我在Ruby中处理枚举的方法。我想要的是简短而甜蜜的，不一定是最像c的。任何想法吗?

module Kernel
  def enum(values)
    Module.new do |mod|
      values.each_with_index{ |v,i| mod.const_set(v.to_s.capitalize, 2**i) }

      def mod.inspect
        "#{self.name} {#{self.constants.join(', ')}}"
      end
    end
  end
end

States = enum %w(Draft Published Trashed)
=> States {Draft, Published, Trashed} 

States::Draft
=> 1

States::Published
=> 2

States::Trashed
=> 4

States::Draft | States::Trashed
=> 5

如果你使用的是Rails 4.2或更高版本，你可以使用Rails枚举。

Rails现在默认有枚举，不需要包含任何宝石。

这与Java、c++的枚举非常相似(并且具有更多的特性)。

引用自http://edgeapi.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Enum.html:

class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
  enum status: [ :active, :archived ]
end

# conversation.update! status: 0
conversation.active!
conversation.active? # => true
conversation.status  # => "active"

# conversation.update! status: 1
conversation.archived!
conversation.archived? # => true
conversation.status    # => "archived"

# conversation.update! status: 1
conversation.status = "archived"

# conversation.update! status: nil
conversation.status = nil
conversation.status.nil? # => true
conversation.status      # => nil

这完全取决于你如何使用Java或c#枚举。如何使用它将决定您在Ruby中选择的解决方案。

尝试本机Set类型，例如:

>> enum = Set['a', 'b', 'c']
=> #<Set: {"a", "b", "c"}>
>> enum.member? "b"
=> true
>> enum.member? "d"
=> false
>> enum.add? "b"
=> nil
>> enum.add? "d"
=> #<Set: {"a", "b", "c", "d"}>

module Status
  BAD  = 13
  GOOD = 24

  def self.to_str(status)
    for sym in self.constants
      if self.const_get(sym) == status
        return sym.to_s
      end
    end
  end

end


mystatus = Status::GOOD

puts Status::to_str(mystatus)

输出:

GOOD

我认为实现类似类型的枚举的最好方法是使用符号，因为它们的行为非常像整数(当涉及到性能时，object_id用于进行比较);你不需要担心索引，它们在你的代码xD中看起来非常整洁

我实现过这样的枚举

module EnumType

  def self.find_by_id id
    if id.instance_of? String
      id = id.to_i
    end 
    values.each do |type|
      if id == type.id
        return type
      end
    end
    nil
  end

  def self.values
    [@ENUM_1, @ENUM_2] 
  end

  class Enum
    attr_reader :id, :label

    def initialize id, label
      @id = id
      @label = label
    end
  end

  @ENUM_1 = Enum.new(1, "first")
  @ENUM_2 = Enum.new(2, "second")

end

然后很容易做操作

EnumType.ENUM_1.label

...

enum = EnumType.find_by_id 1

...

valueArray = EnumType.values
