Make enum accepts `nil`. Add method `reset_#{enum}!`
module ActiveRecord
# Declare an enum attribute where the values map to integers in the database, but can be queried by name. Example:
#
# class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
# enum status: [ :active, :archived ]
# end
#
# # conversation.update! status: 0
# conversation.active!
# conversation.active? # => true
# conversation.status # => "active"
#
# # conversation.update! status: 1
# conversation.archived!
# conversation.archived? # => true
# conversation.status # => "archived"
#
# # conversation.update! status: 1
# conversation.status = "archived"
#
# You can set the default value from the database declaration, like:
#
# create_table :conversations do |t|
# t.column :status, :integer, default: 0
# end
#
# Good practice is to let the first declared status be the default.
#
# Finally, it's also possible to explicitly map the relation between attribute and
# database integer with a +Hash+:
#
# class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
# enum status: { active: 0, archived: 1 }
# end
#
# Note that when an +Array+ is used, the implicit mapping from the values to database
# integers is derived from the order the values appear in the array. In the example,
# <tt>:active</tt> is mapped to +0+ as it's the first element, and <tt>:archived</tt>
# is mapped to +1+. In general, the +i+-th element is mapped to <tt>i-1</tt> in the
# database.
#
# Therefore, once a value is added to the enum array, its position in the array must
# be maintained, and new values should only be added to the end of the array. To
# remove unused values, the explicit +Hash+ syntax should be used.
#
# In rare circumstances you might need to access the mapping directly.
# The mappings are exposed through a constant with the attributes name:
#
# Conversation::STATUS # => { "active" => 0, "archived" => 1 }
#
# Use that constant when you need to know the ordinal value of an enum:
#
# Conversation.where("status <> ?", Conversation::STATUS[:archived])
