Ember Enum

This addon provides a very simple abstraction to use enum attributes with ember data.

Installation

ember install ember-enum

Usage

You can define an enum attribute as follows:

import Model from 'ember-data/model';
import attr from 'ember-data/attr';

export default Model.extend({
  status: attr('enum', {
    options: [
      'started',
      'stopped'
    ],
    defaultValue: 'started'
  })
});

The value from the json response is expected to be a string. Now you can use the attribute in templates:

{{model.status.value}}

You can also use boolean methods to check if the enum has a certain value:

{{#if model.status.isStarted}}
  Started!
{{/if}}

You can use a select element like this:

<select value={{model.status.value}} onchange={{action (mut model.status.value) value="target.value"}}>
  {{#each model.status.options as |option|}}
    <option value={{option}}>{{option}}</option>
  {{/each}}
</select>

Limitations

This project only works with ember-data 2.5 and higher.
