How do you deal with enums in this setup?  Say I have an integer column and I use enums in it - 0 is "no" and 1 is "yes".  How do you filter for the strings rather than the integers within the table?

Thanks for the quick reply.  I am indeed using Rails 5.1.x.  Do you have an example in the context of your demo in how I could accomplish this with virtual attributes?  Never heard of these and am reading about them now.

Thanks!  Very useful.  I understand the concept, but I'm still not sure what the best approach would be to use virtual attributes against an integer column and somehow extract a string from that.  Would I need to define a virtual attribute for each integer that I have mapped as an enum?  In my case I have up to 10 enums in some columns.

Just a fyi - I ended up creating my own custom select boxes that handle filtering for my enum columns.
