whats the status on this gem?

[noiseunion]

Just looking through and noticing that there has not been a commit in 2 years, and PRs that seem to have been ignored for some time as well. Does this gem need new maintainers? Is there an alternative people have switched to?

[jafuentest]

Seems pretty much dead, have you found any alternatives?

@jafuentest this one seems to be fresher: https://github.com/amw/mongoid_enum

@FunkyloverOne @jafuentest - unfortunately that one also looks to be dead. :(

amw/mongoid_enum#1

It looks like the more recent pull-requests that came in for this gem all broke the build. I wouldn't blame @thetron for ignoring those.

As an attempt at rejuvenating this project, I just submitted 4 new pull-requests that all together bring things back up to snuff while also adding Mongoid 6 support. Oh, and they run green too. 💚

• Switch to vector badges in the README #47
• Update ruby versions in build matrix #48
• Add support for Mongoid 6 #49
• Improve build matrix to test both Mongoid 5 and Mongoid 6 #50

@thetron If you have the time to review these pull-requests and publish a new release of mongoid-enum to rubygems, that would be super awesome! Hopefully, these pull-requests make your life a bit easier. Thanks!

Looks like Mongoid 7 was released last month, I hope this gem can be updated, enums are really very useful!

[flvrone]

Guys, you can switch to enumerize, it works well with Mongoid 6.4 for me, guess it will also work for Mongoid 7.

Since this gem does not get updated by three years I wrote a new gem called mongoid_enumerable, which is compatible with MongoId since version 4 until 7: https://github.com/douglaslise/mongoid_enumerable

Hi, @rmm5t Why do not we make a fork do we maintain this or do we create our own gem? I have had many problems and I would like to help solve them. 👍

[rmm5t]

@kenneth1870 I'm not a huge fan of forking open source projects for reasons such as this unless all other options are exhausted, but I understand your frustration.

However, in the meantime, I just created a working branch (with all my other branches merged into it) in my repository that you're welcome to try and work against until this repository is updated.

  gem "mongoid-enum", github: "rmm5t/mongoid-enum", branch: "working"

@thetron If you need help maintaining this project, I'm willing to help get this repository up to snuff and help publish a new gem to rubygems. Feel free to review my github and rubygem history.

Thanks @rmm5t that works for me

[daniloakamine]

@rmm5t it looks great, but could you update the branch to support mongoid 7.0.2, please?

[daniloakamine]

I've just found this project: https://github.com/lwe/simple_enum
I haven't tested yet, but it has a lot of contributors and seems very active.

[flvrone]

BTW I can confirm that I use https://github.com/brainspec/enumerize with Mongoid 7 in production

[rmm5t]

@daniloakamine I haven't touched the project that relied on this particular pull-request in a while now, but I'll probably be near that codebase in the next couple weeks or so. If I find the time, I'll add another PR to allow mongoid 7, but no promises. Considering these PRs aren’t being reviewed or merged, it might be better to consider alternative gems as necessary.
