=== Enums [[enums]]

Prefer using the hash syntax for `enum`. Array makes the database values implicit
& any insertion/removal/rearrangement of values in the middle will most probably
lead to broken code.

class Transaction < ActiveRecord::Base
# bad - implicit values - ordering matters
enum type: %i[credit debit]
# good - explicit values - ordering does not matter
enum type: {
credit: 0,
debit: 1
}

=== Macro Style Methods [[macro-style-methods]]

Group macro-style methods (`has_many`, `validates`, etc) in the beginning of the class definition.
