Overview

UniquenessValidator - an ActiveFedora model validator

Usage:

validates :field, uniqueness: { solr_name: "field_ssim" }
validates_uniqueness_of :field, solr_name: "field_ssim"

Restrictions:

  • Accepts only one attribute (can have more than one UniquenessValidator on a model, however)

  • :solr_name option must be present

  • Can be used on enumerable values (attribute defined with :multiple=>true option), but validator also validates single cardinality, so will not pass validation if enumerable has more than one member.

CAVEAT: The determination of uniqueness depends on a Solr query. False negatives (record invalid) may result if, for example, querying a Solr field of type “text”.
