Instance Method Details

#acceptable ⇒ Range

Note:

If it is unable to find any of the options, or unable to turn the given value into a hash, it will raise a Mixture::ValidationError. This means validation will fail, even if the value may be valid.

Determines the acceptable range that the length ca nbe in. This first turns the options into a hash via #to_hash, and then checks the hash.

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) —

    a customizable set of options

Returns:

  • (Range)

def acceptable
  @_acceptable ||= begin
    options = to_hash(@options)

    if options.key?(:in)         then options[:in]
    elsif options.key?(:is)      then options[:is]..options[:is]
    elsif options.key?(:maximum) && options.key?(:minimum)
      options[:minimum]..options[:maximum]
    elsif options.key?(:maximum) then 0..options[:maximum]
    elsif options.key?(:minimum) then options[:minimum]..Float::INFINITY
    else
      error("Unable to determine acceptable range")
    end
  end
end

#length ⇒ Numeric

Attempts to get the value of the length. It tries the #size, #length, and finally, #count; if it can't find any of these, it raises an error.

Returns:

  • (Numeric) —

    The length.

Raises:

def length
  if @value.respond_to?(:size) then @value.size
  elsif @value.respond_to?(:length)  then @value.length
  elsif @value.respond_to?(:count)   then @value.count
  else error("Value isn't countable")
  end
end

#to_hash(value) ⇒ Hash

Turns any other recoginizable value into a hash that #acceptable can use. The mappings go as follows:

  • Range: turns into { in: value }.
  • Numeric: turns into { in: value..value }
  • Array: turns into { in: value[0]..value[1] }
  • Hash: turns into itself.

Any other class/value causes an error.

Parameters:

  • value (Object) —

    The value to turn into a hash.

Returns:

  • (Hash)

Raises:

#validate(record, attribute, value) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Validates the length of the value. It first composes an acceptable range, and then determines if the length is within that acceptable range. If either components error, the validation fails.

Parameters:

  • record (Mixture::Model) —

    The model that has the attribute. At least, it should respond to #errors.

  • attribute (Attribute) —

    The attribute to validate.

  • value (Object) —

    The value of the attribute.
