I've had a private exchange with Florian regarding model validations and the validated plugin, and I'd like to ask other people to join in on the discussion. As it is, this plugin completely replaces the validation functionality offered by sequel_model + assistance, and adds functionality missing in the original implementation, such as raising a validation error, validation hooks etc.
Florian maintains that the validation functionality should be separate from sequel_model in order to keep sequel_model small and nimble. But anyway, sequel_model uses validation functionality provided by the assistance gem. I moved the validations code out of sequel_model and into assistance with the intention that it would be useful to share this kind of functionality with other libraries, such as DataMapper (Sam Smoot is indeed interested!) IMO it would be better to take Florian's code and integrate it into the assistance gem, instead of making it available as a plugin. For me, putting this kind of core functionality into a plugin creates confusion, and adds another step that people have to make (to load the plugin) before they can use validations. sharon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sequel-talk" group.
