Rails - Dec 2009 - Multiple choices inside the model

Hi,

I''m trying to define multiple choices inside the rails model.
In Django I would do something like this:

location = models.CharField(
                                         max_length=3,
                                         choices=LOCATION_CHOICES,
                                         help_text="Which location do
you prefer?"
                                         )

LOCATION_CHOICES = (
                                      (''AMS'',
''Amsterdam''),
                                      (''RTM'',
''Rotterdam''),
                                      (''HAG'', ''The
Hague''),
)

What is the Rails equivalent of the above code?
I''ve tried searching the Rails docs and Googling, but with no luck.

Thanks!

I don''t know Django, but it looks to me like you are trying to setup a
hash.

location_choices can be a local variable, instance variable, constant,
etc depending on your needs.

@location_choices = { "AMS" => "Amsterdam",
"RTM" => "Rotterdam" }

If you want it to be a constant, just capitalize it.
Local variable, no @ sign.
