validates :children,
          nested_attributes_uniqueness: {
            fields: :field1,
            ignore_nil: true # the child record will be ignored if the field is nil.(default: false)
          }

# uniqueness validation for multiple fields of child model
validates :children,
          nested_attributes_uniqueness: {
            fields: [:field1, :field2],
            display_field: :field3,  # the error will be added to this field when the validation failed.
            ignore_nil: true # the child record will be ignored if all fields are nil.(default: false)
          }

nested_attributes_order

validates :children,
          nested_attributes_order: {
            fields: :field1,
            ignore_nil: true, # the child record will be ignored if the field is nil.(default: false)
            condition: lambda{|a, b| a > b} # lambda function for order verification.(default: lambda{|a, b| a < b})
          }

          nested_attributes_order: {
            fields: [:field1, :field2],
            display_field: :field3,  # the error will be added to this field when the validation failed.
