Overview

Validates whether or not an association is valid or not. Will correctly handle has one and has many associations.

::Set up the association validations.

    #get_target_documents(target)  ⇒ Array<Mongoid::Document>  (private)
  



  

    

Examine the given target object and return an array of documents (possibly empty) that the target represents.


  





  
Parameters:



Returns:

def get_target_documents(target)
  if target.respond_to?(:_loaded?)
    get_target_documents_for_has_many(target)
  else
    get_target_documents_for_other(target)
  end
end


  








  

    #get_target_documents_for_has_many(target)  ⇒ Array<Mongoid::Document>  (private)
  



  

    

Returns the list of all currently in-memory values held by the target. The target will not be loaded.


  





  
Parameters:


    
  
  • 
    target
    (HasMany::Enumerable)
—    
    

    the target that will be examined for in-memory documents.

def get_target_documents_for_has_many(target)
  [ *target._loaded.values, *target._added.values ]
end


  








  

    #get_target_documents_for_other(target)  ⇒ Array<Mongoid::Document>  (private)
  



  

    

Returns the target as an array. If the target represents a single value, it is wrapped in an array.


  





  
Parameters:



Returns:

def get_target_documents_for_other(target)
  Array.wrap(target)
end


  








  

    #validate(document)  
  



  

    

Checks that the named associations of the given record (‘attributes`) are valid. This does NOT load the associations from the database, and will only validate records that are dirty or unpersisted.



If anything is not valid, appropriate errors will be added to the ‘document` parameter.


  





  
Parameters:

# File 'lib/mongoid/validatable/associated.rb', line 36



def validate(document)
  options[:attributes].each do |attr_name|
    validate_association(document, attr_name)
  end
end


  








  

    #validate_association(document, attribute)   (private)
  



  

    

Validates that the given association provided is either nil, persisted and unchanged, or invalid. Otherwise, the appropriate errors will be added to the parent document.


  





  
Parameters:


    
  
  • 
    document
    (Document)
—    
    

    The document to validate.
    

    
  
    • 
  
  • 
    attribute
    (Symbol)
—    
    

    The association to validate.
