Saving enum from select in Rails 4.1

Question

I am using the enums in Rails 4.1 to keep track of colors of wine.

Wine.rb

class Wine < ActiveRecord::Base
    enum color: [:red,

Here is what worked for me, Rails 4+:

class Contract < ApplicationRecord

enum status: { active:  "active", 
               ended: "active", 
               on_hold: "on_hold", 
               terminated:  "terminated", 
               under_review:  "under_review" , 
               unknown: "unknown" 
              }


end

in my _form.html.erb , I have this:

  

    <%= form.select :status, Contract.statuses.keys, {}%>
  

test from Console after adding a record:

2.3.0 :001 > Contract.last.status
  Contract Load (0.2ms)  SELECT  "contracts".* FROM "contracts" ORDER BY "contracts"."id" DESC LIMIT ?  [["LIMIT", 1]]
 => "active"
