The module overrides # Base#save to rescue ActiveResource::ResourceInvalid exceptions and parse the errors returned # in the web service response. The module also adds an +errors+ collection that mimics the interface # of the errors provided by ActiveRecord::Errors. # # ==== Example # # Consider a Person resource on the server requiring both a +first_name+ and a +last_name+ with a # validates_presence_of :first_name, :last_name declaration in the model: # # person = Person.new(:first_name => "Jim", :last_name => "") # person.save # => false (server returns an HTTP 422 status code and errors) # person.valid? # => false # person.errors.empty? # => false # person.errors.count # => 1 # person.errors.full_messages # => ["Last name can't be empty"] # person.errors[:last_name] # => ["can't be empty"] # person.last_name = "Halpert" # person.save # => true (and person is now saved to the remote service) # module Validations def self.included(base) # :nodoc: base.class_eval do alias_method_chain :save, :validation end end # Validate a resource and save (POST) it to the remote web service. def save_with_validation save_without_validation true rescue ResourceInvalid => error errors.from_xml(error.response.body) false end # Checks for errors on an object (i.e., is resource.errors empty?). # # ==== Examples # my_person = Person.create(params[:person]) # my_person.valid? # # => true # # my_person.errors.add('login', 'can not be empty') if my_person.login == '' # my_person.valid? # # => false def valid? errors.empty? end # Returns the Errors object that holds all information about attribute error messages. def errors @errors ||= Errors.new(self) end end end
