I have a custom validation method:
def my_custom_validation
errors.add(specific_field, "error message") if specific_field.delete_if { |i| i.blank? }.blank?
end
The goal is to disallow parameters which contains [""]
pass through validation, but I need to call this method like:
validate :my_custom_validation #and somehow pass here my field names
For example:
validate :my_custom_validation(:industry)
Since you need to validate multiple attributes this way I would recommend a custom validator like so:
class EmptyArrayValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
def validate_each(record, attribute, value)
record.errors[attribute] << (options[:message] || "cannot be emtpy") if value.delete_if(&:blank?).empty?
end
end
Then validate as
validates :industry, empty_array: true
validates :your_other_attribute, empty_array: true
Or if you don't want to specifically create a class because it is only needed for 1 model you could include this in the model itself
validates_each :industry, :your_other_attribute, :and_one_more do |record, attr, value|
record.errors.add(attr, "cannot be emtpy") if value.delete_if(&:blank?).empty?
end
