Module: Sequel::Plugins::ValidationContexts

Defined in:

lib/sequel/plugins/validation_contexts.rb

Overview

The validation_contexts plugin adds support for a validation_context method inside a validate method. You pass in the validation context to use via the :validation_context option to Sequel::Model#save && Sequel::Model#valid?:

class Album < Sequel::Model
  plugin :validation_contexts
  def validate
    super
    errors.add(:status_id, 'not 1') if status_id != 1 && validation_context == :initial
    errors.add(:status_id, 'not 2') if status_id != 2 && validation_context == :approve
  end
end

Album.new(status_id: 1).valid?(validation_context: :initial) # => true
Album.new(status_id: 2).valid?(validation_context: :initial) # => false

Album.new(status_id: 1).valid?(validation_context: :approve) # => false
Album.new(status_id: 2).valid?(validation_context: :approve) # => true

There is no validation context used by default, so validation_context will be nil if one is not specified. If you want to differentiate between creating new objects and updating existing objects, just use new?.

Once this plugin is loaded into a model, after you freeze an instance of that model, you can no longer specify a validation context when validating the instance.
