Enumerize in Rails

Question

I am trying to use Enumerize for attributes I defined.

in my Student Model

extend Enumerize
attr_accessor :order_by

enumerize :order_by, in: %w[time grade school], i18n_scope: "order_by_options"

in my view (which is part of a form_tag)

<%= label_tag t("order_by") %>
<%= select_tag :order_by, Student.order_by.options, class: 'form-control' %>

But the options are not being displayed. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

It seems #options is suitable argument for #select (it's an array), while for #select_tag you should make a string with option tags, either manually or by using #options_for_select docs.
