[show source]

    # File lib/sequel/plugins/validation_helpers.rb
204 def validates_schema_types(atts=keys, opts=OPTS)

validates_type(klass, atts, opts=OPTS)

Check if value is an instance of a class. If klass is an array, the value must be an instance of one of the classes in the array.

[show source]

214 def validates_type(klass, atts, opts=OPTS)
215   klass = klass.to_s.constantize if klass.is_a?(String) || klass.is_a?(Symbol)
216   validatable_attributes_for_type(:type, atts, opts) do |a,v,m|
217     if klass.is_a?(Array) ? !klass.any?{|kls| v.is_a?(kls)} : !v.is_a?(klass)
218       validates_type_error_message(m, klass)
219     end
220   end
221 end

validates_unique(*atts)

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.where(: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:

:dataset	The base dataset to use for the unique query, defaults to the model’s dataset.
: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, true by default.
:where	A callable object where call takes three arguments, a dataset, the current object, and an array of columns, and should return a modified dataset that is filtered to include only rows with the same values as the current object for each column in the array.

If you want to do a case insensitive uniqueness validation on a database that is case sensitive by default, you can use:

validates_unique :column, where:(lambda do |ds, obj, cols|
  ds.where(cols.map do |c|
    v = obj.public_send(c)
    v = v.downcase if v
    [Sequel.function(:lower, c), v]
  end)
end)

[show source]

    # File lib/sequel/plugins/validation_helpers.rb
272 def validates_unique(*atts)
273   opts = default_validation_helpers_options(:unique)
274   if atts.last.is_a?(Hash)
275     opts = opts.merge(atts.pop)
276   end
277   message = validation_error_message(opts[:message])
278   from_values = opts[:from] == :values
279   where = opts[:where]
280   atts.each do |a|
281     arr = Array(a)
282     next if arr.any?{|x| errors.on(x)}
283     cc = changed_columns
284     next if opts.fetch(:only_if_modified, true) && !new? && !arr.any?{|x| cc.include?(x)}
285     ds = opts[:dataset] || model.dataset
286     ds = if where
287       where.call(ds, self, arr)
288     else
289       vals = arr.map{|x| from_values ? values[x] : get_column_value(x)}
290       next if vals.any?(&:nil?)
291       ds.where(arr.zip(vals))
292     end
293     ds = yield(ds) if defined?(yield)
294     unless new?
295       h = ds.joined_dataset? ? qualified_pk_hash : pk_hash
296       ds = ds.exclude(h)
297     end
298     errors.add(a, message) unless ds.empty?
