#validates_length_range(range, atts, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Check that the attribute values length is in the specified range.

end

#validates_max_length(max, atts, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Check that the attribute values are not longer than the given max length.

end

#validates_min_length(min, atts, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Check that the attribute values are not shorter than the given min length.

end

#validates_not_string(atts, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Check that the attribute value(s) 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.

end

    rescue
      validation_error_message(m)
    end
  end
end

#validates_presence(atts, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Check attribute value(s) is not considered blank by the database, but allow false values.

# File 'lib/sequel/plugins/validation_helpers.rb', line 127

def validates_presence(atts, opts={})
  validatable_attributes_for_type(:presence, atts, opts){|a,v,m| validation_error_message(m) if model.db.send(:blank_object?, v) && v != false}
end

#validates_unique(*atts) ⇒ Object

Checks that there are no duplicate values in the database for the given attributes. 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_unique([:column1, :column2])

validates the grouping of column1 and column2 while

validates_unique(:column1, :column2)

validates them separately.

You can pass a block, which is yielded the dataset in which the columns must be unique. So if you are doing a soft delete of records, in which the name must be unique, but only for active records:

validates_unique(:name){|ds| ds.filter(:active)}

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

This validation does not respect the :allow_* options that the other validations accept, since it can deal with a grouping of multiple attributes.

Possible Options:

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

  • :only_if_modified - Only check the uniqueness if the object is new or one of the columns has been modified.
