Provides error related functionalities you can include in your object for handling error messages and interacting with Action View helpers.
A minimal implementation could be:
class Person
# Required dependency for ActiveModel::Errors
extend ActiveModel::Naming
def initialize
@errors = ActiveModel::Errors.new(self)
end
attr_accessor :name
attr_reader :errors
def validate!
errors.add(:name, :blank, message: "cannot be nil") if name.nil?
end
# The following methods are needed to be minimally implemented
def read_attribute_for_validation(attr)
send(attr)
end
def self.human_attribute_name(attr, options = {})
attr
end
def self.lookup_ancestors
[self]
end
end
The last three methods are required in your object for Errors
to be able to generate error messages correctly and also handle multiple languages. Of course, if you extend your object with ActiveModel::Translation
you will not need to implement the last two. Likewise, using ActiveModel::Validations
will handle the validation related methods for you.
The above allows you to do:
person = Person.new
person.validate! # => ["cannot be nil"]
person.errors.full_messages # => ["name cannot be nil"]
# etc..

When passed a symbol or a name of a method, returns an array of errors for the method.
person.errors[:name] # => ["cannot be nil"]
person.errors['name'] # => ["cannot be nil"]
Source: show | on GitHub
def [](attribute) messages_for(attribute) endadd(attribute, type = :invalid, **options) Link
Adds a new error of type
on attribute
. More than one error can be added to the same attribute
. If no type
is supplied, :invalid
is assumed.
person.errors.add(:name)
# Adds <#ActiveModel::Error attribute=name, type=invalid>
person.errors.add(:name, :not_implemented, message: "must be implemented")
# Adds <#ActiveModel::Error attribute=name, type=not_implemented,
options={:message=>"must be implemented"}>
person.errors.messages
# => {:name=>["is invalid", "must be implemented"]}
If type
is a string, it will be used as error message.
If type
is a symbol, it will be translated using the appropriate scope (see generate_message
).
person.errors.add(:name, :blank)
person.errors.messages
# => {:name=>["can't be blank"]}
person.errors.add(:name, :too_long, count: 25)
person.errors.messages
# => ["is too long (maximum is 25 characters)"]
If type
is a proc, it will be called, allowing for things like Time.now
to be used within an error.
If the :strict
option is set to true
, it will raise ActiveModel::StrictValidationFailed
instead of adding the error. :strict
option can also be set to any other exception.
person.errors.add(:name, :invalid, strict: true)
# => ActiveModel::StrictValidationFailed: Name is invalid
person.errors.add(:name, :invalid, strict: NameIsInvalid)
# => NameIsInvalid: Name is invalid
person.errors.messages # => {}
attribute
should be set to :base
if the error is not directly associated with a single attribute.
person.errors.add(:base, :name_or_email_blank,
message: "either name or email must be present")
person.errors.messages
# => {:base=>["either name or email must be present"]}
person.errors.details
# => {:base=>[{error: :name_or_email_blank}]}

def add(attribute, type = :invalid, **options) attribute, type, options = normalize_arguments(attribute, type, **options) error = Error.new(@base, attribute, type, **options) if exception = options[:strict] exception = ActiveModel::StrictValidationFailed if exception == true raise exception, error.full_message end @errors.append(error) error endadded?(attribute, type = :invalid, options = {}) Link
Returns true
if an error matches provided attribute
and type
, or false
otherwise. type
is treated the same as for add
.
person.errors.add :name, :blank
person.errors.added? :name, :blank # => true
person.errors.added? :name, "can't be blank" # => true
If the error requires options, then it returns true
with the correct options, or false
with incorrect or missing options.
person.errors.add :name, :too_long, count: 25
person.errors.added? :name, :too_long, count: 25 # => true
person.errors.added? :name, "is too long (maximum is 25 characters)" # => true
person.errors.added? :name, :too_long, count: 24 # => false
person.errors.added? :name, :too_long # => false

Symbol @errors.any? { |error| error.strict_match?(attribute, type, **options) } else messages_for(attribute).include?(type) end endas_json(options = nil) Link
Returns a Hash
that can be used as the JSON representation for this object. You can pass the :full_messages
option. This determines if the JSON object should contain full messages or not (false by default).
person.errors.as_json # => {:name=>["cannot be nil"]}

person.errors.attribute_names # => [:name]
Source: show | on GitHub
def attribute_names @errors.map(&:attribute).uniq.freeze endclear Link
Clears all errors. Clearing the errors does not, however, make the model valid. The next time the validations are run (for example, via ActiveRecord::Validations#valid?
), the errors collection will be filled again if any validations fail.
Delete messages for key
. Returns the deleted messages.

person.errors.delete(:name) # => ["cannot be nil"]
person.errors[:name] # => []

Returns a Hash
of attributes with an array of their error details.
Source: show | on GitHub
def details hash = group_by_attribute.transform_values do |errors| errors.map(&:details) end hash.default = EMPTY_ARRAY hash.freeze hash endeach(&block) Link
Iterates through each error object.

person.errors.each do |error|
# Will yield <#ActiveModel::Error attribute=name, type=too_short,
options={:count=>3}>

def full_messages_for(attribute) where(attribute).map(&:full_message).freeze endgenerate_message(attribute, type = :invalid, options = {}) Link
Translates an error message in its default scope (activemodel.errors.messages
).
Error
messages are first looked up in activemodel.errors.models.MODEL.attributes.ATTRIBUTE.MESSAGE
, if itâs not there, itâs looked up in activemodel.errors.models.MODEL.MESSAGE
and if that is not there also, it returns the translation of the default message (e.g. activemodel.errors.messages.MESSAGE
). The translated model name, translated attribute name, and the value are available for interpolation.
When using inheritance in your models, it will check all the inherited models too, but only if the model itself hasnât been found. Say you have class Admin < User; end
and you wanted the translation for the :blank
error message for the title
attribute, it looks for these translations:
activemodel.errors.models.admin.attributes.title.blank
activemodel.errors.models.admin.blank
activemodel.errors.models.user.attributes.title.blank
activemodel.errors.models.user.blank
any default you provided through the options
hash (in the activemodel.errors
scope)
activemodel.errors.messages.blank
errors.attributes.title.blank
errors.messages.blank

def generate_message(attribute, type = :invalid, options = {}) Error.generate_message(attribute, type, @base, options) endgroup_by_attribute() Link
Returns a Hash
of attributes with an array of their Error
objects.

# => {:name=>[<#ActiveModel::Error>, <#ActiveModel::Error>]}
Source: show | on GitHub
def group_by_attribute @errors.group_by(&:attribute) endimport(error, override_options = {}) Link
Imports one error. Imported errors are wrapped as a NestedError
, providing access to original error object. If attribute or type needs to be overridden, use override_options
.
:attribute
- Override the attribute the error belongs to.
:type
- Override type of the error.

def import(error, override_options = {}) [:attribute, :type].each do |key| if override_options.key?(key) override_options[key] = override_options[key].to_sym end end @errors.append(NestedError.new(@base, error, override_options)) endinclude?(attribute) Link
Returns true
if the error messages include an error for the given key attribute
, false
otherwise.
