# Validates whether the value of the specified attributes are unique across the system. Useful for making sure that only one user
# can be named "davidhh".
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# validates_uniqueness_of :user_name, :scope => :account_id
# end
#
# It can also validate whether the value of the specified attributes are unique based on multiple scope parameters. For example,
# making sure that a teacher can only be on the schedule once per semester for a particular class.
#
# class TeacherSchedule < ActiveRecord::Base
# validates_uniqueness_of :teacher_id, :scope => [:semester_id, :class_id]
# end
#
# When the record is created, a check is performed to make sure that no record exists in the database with the given value for the specified
# attribute (that maps to a column). When the record is updated, the same check is made but disregarding the record itself.
#
# Because this check is performed outside the database there is still a chance that duplicate values
# will be inserted in two parallel transactions. To guarantee against this you should create a
# unique index on the field. See +add_index+ for more information.
#
# Configuration options:
# * <tt>:message</tt> - Specifies a custom error message (default is: "has already been taken")
# * <tt>:scope</tt> - One or more columns by which to limit the scope of the uniqueness constraint.
# * <tt>:case_sensitive</tt> - Looks for an exact match. Ignored by non-text columns (+true+ by default).
2008-06-02 08:35:38 +02:00
# * <tt>:allow_nil</tt> - If set to +true+, skips this validation if the attribute is +nil+ (default is: +false+)
# * <tt>:allow_blank</tt> - If set to +true+, skips this validation if the attribute is blank (default is: +false+)
# * <tt>:if</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
# occur (e.g. <tt>:if => :allow_validation</tt>, or <tt>:if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }</tt>). The
# method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
# * <tt>:unless</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
# not occur (e.g. <tt>:unless => :skip_validation</tt>, or <tt>:unless => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step <= 2 }</tt>). The
# method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
