Boolean Group

The BooleanGroup is used to update a Hash with string keys and boolean values in the database.

It's useful when you have something like a roles hash in your database.

field :roles, as: :boolean_group, name: 'User roles', options: { admin: 'Administrator', manager: 'Manager', writer: 'Writer' }

Options

-> options

options should be a Hash with the keys to one of the four available types (info, success, warning, danger) and the values matching your record's database values.

Default value

{
  info: :info,
  success: :success,
  danger: :danger,
  warning: :warning
}

Computed options

You may want to compute the values on the fly for your BooleanGroup field. You can use a lambda for that where you have access to the record, resource, view, and field properties where you can pull data off.

# app/avo/resources/project.rb
class Avo::Resources::Project < Avo::BaseResource
  field :features,
    as: :boolean_group,
    options: -> do
      record.features.each_with_object({}) do |feature, hash|
        hash[feature.id] = feature.name.humanize
      end
    end
end

The output value must be a hash as described above.

Example DB payload

# Example boolean group object stored in the database
{
  "admin": true,
  "manager": true,
  "creator": true,
}

Before version 3.7.0 Avo would override the whole attribute with only the payload sent from the client.

// Before update.
{
  "feature_enabled": true,
  "another_feature_enabled": false,
  "something_else": "some_value" // this will disappear
}
// After update.
{
  "feature_enabled": true,
  "another_feature_enabled": false,
}

Version 3.7.0 and up will only update the keys that you send from the client.

// Before update.
{
  "feature_enabled": true,
  "another_feature_enabled": false,
  "something_else": "some_value" // this will be kept
}

// After update.
{
  "feature_enabled": true,
  "another_feature_enabled": false,
  "something_else": "some_value"
}
