Rails setting OR conditions in validate_presence_of in a model?
- by Jty.tan
In a rails model, is it possible to do something like
class Example < ActiveRecord::Base
#associations
validates_presence_of :item_id, (:user_id OR :user_email)
#functions
end
Where the model has 3 columns of :item_id, :user_id, and :user_email?
I want the model to be valid as long as I have a :user_id or a :user_email.
Idea being that if the item is recommended to a person who isn't currently signed up, it can be associated via email address for when the recommended person signs up.
Or is there a different method that I can use instead?
