Instance Method Details

- (Object) attempted_record

You should use this as a place holder for any records that you find during validation. The main reason for this is to allow other modules to use it if needed. Take the failed_login_count feature, it needs this in order to increase the failed login count.

- (Object) errors

The errors in Authlogic work JUST LIKE ActiveRecord. In fact, it uses the exact same ActiveRecord errors class. Use it the same way:

Example

class UserSession
  before_validation :check_if_awesome

  private
    def check_if_awesome
      errors.add(:login, "must contain awesome") if  && !.include?("awesome")
      errors.add(:base, "You must be awesome to log in") unless attempted_record.awesome?
    end
end

# File 'lib/authlogic/session/validation.rb', line 51

def errors
  @errors ||= Errors.new(self)
end

- (Boolean) valid?

Determines if the information you provided for authentication is valid or not. If there is a problem with the information provided errors will be added to the errors object and this method will return false.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
