Check if type is an enum and list possible values

Support dry-types
1

Hello!

Long story short - let’s say i have an array of various dry types, one of them being enum type types_array = [Types::Params::String.default('red').enum('red', 'green', 'blue')].

  1. How can i check if given type has an enum defined for it? I’m talking about something like types_array[0].enum?. I’m currently using types_array[0].respond_to?(:values) but it feels a bit hacky
  2. How can i list possible values for given enum type? Something like types_array[0].enum_values this one is solved - i just have to do types_arra[0].values

If that’s something easy and documented - please forgive me. I spent a decent amount of time googling and going through your docs but without any luck sadly.

Thanks!

Dry Types mostly work by behavior not by identity. So there don’t tend to be a lot of predicates that tell you what it is prior to using it.

That said, when dry-types need to represent themselves abstractly, they use an s-expression syntax available from #to_ast.

In this specific case, you can do

Types = Dry.Types(default: :params)

module Types
  Color = String.default('red').enum('red', 'green', 'blue')
end

if T::Color.to_ast in [:enum, *]
  # do something
end
