ActiceRecord下的errors-优快云博客

本文探讨了Rails中如何为Article和Comment模型设置验证规则，包括必填字段检查及关联文章是否已发布等。同时介绍了如何使用errors.add方法添加自定义错误消息。


class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
validates :title, :presence => true
validates :body, :presence => true
belongs_to :user
has_and_belongs_to_many :categories
has_many :comments
scope :published, where("articles.published_at IS NOT NULL")

scope :where_title, lambda { |term| where("articles.title LIKE ?", "%#{term}%") }
def long_title

end

errors.add(column_name, error_message). So, let’s implement a method called
