ActiveResource::Errors

Active Resource validation is reported to and from this object, which is used by Base#save to determine whether the object in a valid state to be saved. See usage example in Validations.

Attributes

errors[R]

Public Instance Methods

[](attribute) click to toggle source
Alias for: on
add(attribute, msg) click to toggle source

Adds an error to an Active Resource object’s attribute (named for the attribute parameter) with the error message in msg.

Examples

my_resource = Node.find(1)
my_resource.errors.add('name', 'can not be "base"') if my_resource.name == 'base'
my_resource.errors.on('name')
# => 'can not be "base"!'

my_resource.errors.add('desc', 'can not be blank') if my_resource.desc == ''
my_resource.valid?
# => false
my_resource.errors.on('desc')
# => 'can not be blank!'
# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 50
def add(attribute, msg)
  @errors[attribute.to_s] = [] if @errors[attribute.to_s].nil?
  @errors[attribute.to_s] << msg
end
add_to_base(msg) click to toggle source

Add an error to the base Active Resource object rather than an attribute.

Examples

my_folder = Folder.find(1)
my_folder.errors.add_to_base("You can't edit an existing folder")
my_folder.errors.on_base
# => "You can't edit an existing folder"

my_folder.errors.add_to_base("This folder has been tagged as frozen")
my_folder.valid?
# => false
my_folder.errors.on_base
# => ["You can't edit an existing folder", "This folder has been tagged as frozen"]
# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 31
def add_to_base(msg)
  add(:base, msg)
end
clear() click to toggle source
# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 178
def clear
  @errors = {}
end
count() click to toggle source
Alias for: size
each() click to toggle source

Yields each attribute and associated message per error added.

Examples

my_person = Person.new(params[:person])

my_person.errors.add('login', 'can not be empty') if my_person.login == ''
my_person.errors.add('password', 'can not be empty') if my_person.password == ''
messages = ''
my_person.errors.each {|attr, msg| messages += attr.humanize + " " + msg + "<br />"}
messages
# => "Login can not be empty<br />Password can not be empty<br />"
# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 128
def each
  @errors.each_key { |attr| @errors[attr].each { |msg| yield attr, msg } }
end
each_full() click to toggle source

Yields each full error message added. So Person.errors.add(“first_name”, “can’t be empty”) will be returned through iteration as “First name can’t be empty”.

Examples

my_person = Person.new(params[:person])

my_person.errors.add('login', 'can not be empty') if my_person.login == ''
my_person.errors.add('password', 'can not be empty') if my_person.password == ''
messages = ''
my_person.errors.each_full {|msg| messages += msg + "<br/>"}
messages
# => "Login can not be empty<br />Password can not be empty<br />"
# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 145
def each_full
  full_messages.each { |msg| yield msg }
end
from_array(messages) click to toggle source

Grabs errors from an array of messages (like ActiveRecord::Validations)

# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 203
def from_array(messages)
  clear
  humanized_attributes = @base.attributes.keys.inject({}) { |h, attr_name| h.update(attr_name.humanize => attr_name) }
  messages.each do |message|
    attr_message = humanized_attributes.keys.detect do |attr_name|
      if message[0, attr_name.size + 1] == "#{attr_name} "
        add humanized_attributes[attr_name], message[(attr_name.size + 1)..-1]
      end
    end
    
    add_to_base message if attr_message.nil?
  end
end
from_json(json) click to toggle source

Grabs errors from the json response.

# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 218
def from_json(json)
  array = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(json)['errors'] rescue []
  from_array array
end
from_xml(xml) click to toggle source

Grabs errors from the XML response.

# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 224
def from_xml(xml)
  array = Array.wrap(Hash.from_xml(xml)['errors']['error']) rescue []
  from_array array
end
full_messages() click to toggle source

Returns all the full error messages in an array.

Examples

my_person = Person.new(params[:person])

my_person.errors.add('login', 'can not be empty') if my_person.login == ''
my_person.errors.add('password', 'can not be empty') if my_person.password == ''
messages = ''
my_person.errors.full_messages.each {|msg| messages += msg + "<br/>"}
messages
# => "Login can not be empty<br />Password can not be empty<br />"
# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 161
def full_messages
  full_messages = []

  @errors.each_key do |attr|
    @errors[attr].each do |msg|
      next if msg.nil?

      if attr == "base"
        full_messages << msg
      else
        full_messages << [attr.humanize, msg].join(' ')
      end
    end
  end
  full_messages
end
invalid?(attribute) click to toggle source

Returns true if the specified attribute has errors associated with it.

Examples

my_resource = Disk.find(1)
my_resource.errors.add('location', 'must be Main') unless my_resource.location == 'Main'
my_resource.errors.on('location')
# => 'must be Main!'

my_resource.errors.invalid?('location')
# => true
my_resource.errors.invalid?('name')
# => false
# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 67
def invalid?(attribute)
  !@errors[attribute.to_s].nil?
end
length() click to toggle source
Alias for: size
on(attribute) click to toggle source

A method to return the errors associated with attribute, which returns nil, if no errors are associated with the specified attribute, the error message if one error is associated with the specified attribute, or an array of error messages if more than one error is associated with the specified attribute.

Examples

my_person = Person.new(params[:person])
my_person.errors.on('login')
# => nil

my_person.errors.add('login', 'can not be empty') if my_person.login == ''
my_person.errors.on('login')
# => 'can not be empty'

my_person.errors.add('login', 'can not be longer than 10 characters') if my_person.login.length > 10
my_person.errors.on('login')
# => ['can not be empty', 'can not be longer than 10 characters']
# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 87
def on(attribute)
  errors = @errors[attribute.to_s]
  return nil if errors.nil?
  errors.size == 1 ? errors.first : errors
end
Also aliased as: []
on_base() click to toggle source

A method to return errors assigned to base object through add_to_base, which returns nil, if no errors are associated with the specified attribute, the error message if one error is associated with the specified attribute, or an array of error messages if more than one error is associated with the specified attribute.

Examples

my_account = Account.find(1)
my_account.errors.on_base
# => nil

my_account.errors.add_to_base("This account is frozen")
my_account.errors.on_base
# => "This account is frozen"

my_account.errors.add_to_base("This account has been closed")
my_account.errors.on_base

# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 112
def on_base
  on(:base)
end
size() click to toggle source

Returns the total number of errors added. Two errors added to the same attribute will be counted as such with this as well.

Examples

my_person = Person.new(params[:person])
my_person.errors.size
# => 0

my_person.errors.add('login', 'can not be empty') if my_person.login == ''
my_person.errors.add('password', 'can not be empty') if my_person.password == ''
my_person.error.size
# => 2
# File lib/active_resource/validations.rb, line 195
def size
  @errors.values.inject(0) { |error_count, attribute| error_count + attribute.size }
end
Also aliased as: count, length
