def fail_validate!(document)
  raise Errors::Validations.new(document)
end

#model_type_value ⇒ Object

The value to use for this model’s model_type_key. By default, this shouls always be the string representation of the class, but if you need anything special, overwrite this method.

  to_s
end

#unique_id(method = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Name a method that will be called before the document is first saved, which returns a string to be used for the document’s _id.

Because CouchDB enforces a constraint that each id must be unique, this can be used to enforce eg: uniq usernames. Note that this id must be globally unique across all document types which share a database, so if you’d like to scope uniqueness to this class, you should use the class name as part of the unique id.
