In my model example Game, has a status column. But I usually set status by using symbols. Example
self.status = :active
MATCH_STATUS = {
:betting_on => "Betting is on",
:home_team_won => "Home team has won",
:visiting_team_won => "Visiting team has one",
:game_tie => "Game is tied"
}.freeze
def viewable_status
MATCH_STATUS[self.status]
end
I use the above Map to switch between viewable status and viceversa.
However when the data gets saved to db, ActiveRecord appends "--- " to each status. So when I retrieve back the status is screwed.
What should be the correct approach?
