Overview

Active Fedora Validations, adapted from Active Record

Active Fedora 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 Record will always supply either the context of :create or :update dependent on whether the model is a new_record?.

Instance Method Details

- (Object) save(options = {})

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_fedora/validations.rb', line 49

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

- (Object) save!(options = {})

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

- (Boolean) valid?(context = nil)

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)
