Access translation file (i18n) from inside rails model

Question

What I have in my model is:

def body_color_enum   [     ['Aqua', '#009c9c'],     ['Grey', '#6d6e71'],     ['Yellow', '#ffe600'],     ['White', 'white']   ] end 

I want these values to come from the translation file 'en.yml'

en:   group:     hero:       hex1: '#6d6e71'       name1: 'Dark grey'       hex2: '#ccc'       name2: 'Light grey'       hex3: '#0099ce'       name3: 'Blue'       hex4: '#ffffff'       name4: 'White' 

I have tried this:

def body_color_enum   [     [t('group.hero.name1'), '#009c9c'],     ['Grey', '#6d6e71'],     ['Yellow', '#ffe600'],     ['White', 'white']   ] end 

But i get this error:

undefined method `t' for #<Group:0x007fabad847ac8> 

So what I'm asking is how can I access my local file from the model so I can set my values in the body_color_enum method.

Answer 1

Call:

I18n.t  

instead of simple t. t is a helper method only available in the views, delegating the whole logic to I18n module.

UPDATE:

As mentioned in the comments, view helper is not only delegating to the I18n module, it makes sure that you can use a default scopes as well.

Answer 2

# constants def self.option_enum     [        [ I18n.t('enum.amount'), 'A' ],        [ I18n.t('enum.percentage'), 'P' ]      ] end
