Module: Vehicles::OtherOption

Included in:
Vehicles
Defined in:
lib/vehicles/other_option.rb

Overview

The "Other / not in the list" escape hatch for make/model pickers. Mixed into the Vehicles singleton (extend OtherOption in vehicles.rb) so Vehicles.other? and Vehicles.other_label read as first-class module methods, and the include_other: helpers (makes/models/*_options) can append it. Pair with allow_other: true on the vehicle_make/vehicle_model validators. See the README "An Other / not in the list escape hatch" section.

OTHER_SLUG =

Stable, language-independent value for the escape hatch — the slug the *_options(include_other:) helpers emit, and a value other? always recognizes regardless of the configured display label.

Instance Method Details

#other?(value) ⇒ Boolean

Is value the "Other / not in the list" escape hatch? Forgiving: matches the configured label ("Otro") OR the canonical slug ("other"), case/diacritics- insensitively. nil/blank => false. Handy for hiding it from a display string or skipping dataset lookups on it.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def other?(value)
  normalized = normalize(value)
  return false if normalized.empty?

  normalized == OTHER_SLUG || normalized == normalize(other_label)
end

#other_label ⇒ Object

The configured "Other" display label (default "Other"). Use it as the picker's escape-hatch value and to recognize it on read.
