    end
    procs.each {|tag, p| p.call(o, att, v)}
  end
end

#validates(&block) ⇒ Object

Defines validations by converting a longhand block into a series of shorthand definitions. For example:

class MyClass < Sequel::Model
  validates do
    length_of :name, :minimum => 6
    length_of :password, :minimum => 8
  end
end

is equivalent to:

class MyClass < Sequel::Model
  validates_length_of :name, :minimum => 6
  validates_length_of :password, :minimum => 8
end

end

#validates_acceptance_of(*atts) ⇒ Object

Validates acceptance of an attribute. Just checks that the value is equal to the :accept option. This method is unique in that :allow_nil is assumed to be true instead of false.

Possible Options:

  • :accept - The value required for the object to be valid (default: ‘1’)

  • :message - The message to use (default: ‘is not accepted’)

  }.merge!(extract_options!(atts))
  atts << opts
  validates_each(*atts) do |o, a, v|
    o.errors.add(a, opts[:message]) unless v == opts[:accept]
  end
end

#validates_confirmation_of(*atts) ⇒ Object

Validates confirmation of an attribute. Checks that the object has a _confirmation value matching the current value. For example:

validates_confirmation_of :blah

Just makes sure that object.blah = object.blah_confirmation. Often used for passwords or email addresses on web forms.

Possible Options:

  • :message - The message to use (default: ‘is not confirmed’)

    :message => 'is not confirmed',
    :tag => :confirmation,
  }.merge!(extract_options!(atts))
  atts << opts
  validates_each(*atts) do |o, a, v|
    o.errors.add(a, opts[:message]) unless v == o.send(:"#{a}_confirmation")
  end
end

#validates_each(*atts, &block) ⇒ Object

Adds a validation for each of the given attributes using the supplied block. The block must accept three arguments: instance, attribute and value, e.g.:

validates_each :name, :password do |object, attribute, value|
  object.errors.add(attribute, 'is not nice') unless value.nice?
end

Possible Options:

  • :allow_blank - Whether to skip the validation if the value is blank.

  • :allow_missing - Whether to skip the validation if the attribute isn’t a key in the values hash. This is different from allow_nil, because Sequel only sends the attributes in the values when doing an insert or update. If the attribute is not present, Sequel doesn’t specify it, so the database will use the table’s default value. This is different from having an attribute in values with a value of nil, which Sequel will send as NULL. If your database table has a non NULL default, this may be a good option to use. You don’t want to use allow_nil, because if the attribute is in values but has a value nil, Sequel will attempt to insert a NULL value into the database, instead of using the database’s default.

  • :allow_nil - Whether to skip the validation if the value is nil.

  • :if - A symbol (indicating an instance_method) or proc (which is instance_evaled) skipping this validation if it returns nil or false.

  • :tag - The tag to use for this validation.

Possible Options:

  • :message - The message to use (default: ‘is invalid’)

end

#validates_length_of(*atts) ⇒ Object

Validates the length of an attribute.

Possible Options:

  • :is - The exact size required for the value to be valid (no default)

  • :maximum - The maximum size allowed for the value (no default)

  • :message - The message to use (no default, overrides :too_long, :too_short, and :wrong_length options if present)

  • :minimum - The minimum size allowed for the value (no default)

  • :too_long - The message to use use if it the value is too long (default: ‘is too long’)

  • :too_short - The message to use use if it the value is too short (default: ‘is too short’)

  • :within - The array/range that must include the size of the value for it to be valid (no default)

  • :wrong_length - The message to use use if it the value is not valid (default: ‘is the wrong length’)

#validates_not_string(*atts) ⇒ Object

Validates whether an attribute is not a string. This is generally useful in conjunction with raise_on_typecast_failure = false, where you are passing in string values for non-string attributes (such as numbers and dates). If typecasting fails (invalid number or date), the value of the attribute will be a string in an invalid format, and if typecasting succeeds, the value will not be a string.

Possible Options:

  • :message - The message to use (default: ‘is a string’ or ‘is not a valid (integer|datetime|etc.)’ if the type is known)

#validates_numericality_of(*atts) ⇒ Object

Validates whether an attribute is a number.

Possible Options:

  • :message - The message to use (default: ‘is not a number’)

  • :only_integer - Whether only integers are valid values (default: false)

#validates_presence_of(*atts) ⇒ Object

Validates the presence of an attribute. Requires the value not be blank, with false considered present instead of absent.

  validates_each(*atts) do |o, a, v|
    o.errors.add(a, opts[:message]) if v.blank? && v != false
  end
end

#validates_uniqueness_of(*atts) ⇒ Object

Validates only if the fields in the model (specified by atts) are unique in the database. Pass an array of fields instead of multiple fields to specify that the combination of fields must be unique, instead of that each field should have a unique value.

This means that the code:

validates_uniqueness_of([:column1, :column2])

validates the grouping of column1 and column2 while

validates_uniqueness_of(:column1, :column2)

validates them separately.

You should also add a unique index in the database, as this suffers from a fairly obvious race condition.

Possible Options:

  • :message - The message to use (default: ‘is already taken’)
