Overview

Active Node Validations

Active Node includes the majority of its validations from ActiveModel::Validations all of which accept the :on argument to define the context where the validations are active. Active Node will always supply either the context of :create or :update dependent on whether the model is a new_record?.

Instance Method Details

#save(options = {}) ⇒ Object

The validation process on save can be skipped by passing validate: false. The regular Base#save method is replaced with this when the validations module is mixed in, which it is by default.

# File 'lib/active_node/validations.rb', line 66

def save(options={})
  perform_validations(options) ? super : false
end

#save!(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Attempts to save the record just like Base#save but will raise a RecordInvalid exception instead of returning false if the record is not valid.

def save!(options={})
  perform_validations(options) ? super : raise(RecordInvalid.new(self))
end

#valid?(context = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Runs all the validations within the specified context. Returns true if no errors are found, false otherwise.

If the argument is false (default is nil), the context is set to :create if new_record? is true, and to :update if it is not.

Validations with no :on option will run no matter the context. Validations with some :on option will only run in the specified context.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
