module EnumInheritance
# == STI through Enum
#
# WARNING: Usage of STI is heavily discouraged: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/database/single_table_inheritance.html
#
# Active Record allows definition of STI through the <tt>Base.inheritance_column</tt>. However, this stores the class
# name as string into the record, which is heavy and unnecessary. EnumInheritance adapts ActiveRecord to use an enum
# instead.
#
# Details:
# - Correct class mapping is specified in the <tt>self.sti_type_map<\tt>, which maps the symbol of the type to
# a fully classified class as string.
# - If the type passed does not have an specified class, then the class will be the base class
#
# Example
# class Animal
# include EnumInheritable
#
# enum animal_type: {
# dog: 1,
# cat: 2,
# bird: 3
# }
#
# def self.inheritance_column_to_class_map = {
# dog: 'Animals::Dog',
# cat: 'Animals::Cat'
# }
#
# def self.inheritance_column = 'animal_type'
# end
#
# class Animals::Dog < Animal; end
# class Animals::Cat < Animal; end
