Answer 1

Since you are using Rails 4 or higher, enums are even less complicated.

Given the following enum:

enum role: {
  admin: 1
}

Enums expect the HTML option attribute value to be the enum key:

Knowing this, you can pass in the enum keys.

<%= f.select :role, User.roles.keys, {}, class: 'user-roles-select' %>

Then using CSS you can modify the appearance.

.user-roles-select option {
  text-transform: capitalize;
}
