Rails models, how to implement the ability to select one of the three order states?

Question

Ruby on Rails

There is a table :orders with fields name and phone. How to make an order have three states (deleted, completed, rejected, canceled by the client)?
Through a secondary key with a state field and a primary key, or is there some more elegant way?

Answer 1

The statuses table with a one-to-many relationship to the orders table is quite an elegant way.
