How do I validate nested models in Rails?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

In Rails, you can validate nested models by using the accepts_nested_attributes_for method along with validations in the nested model.

Can you give me an example of how to set that up?

Sure! In your parent model, use accepts_nested_attributes_for :children and in the child model, add validations like validates :name, presence: true.

What if I want to validate the nested model conditionally?

MagicBuddy

You can use the :if or :unless options in your validations to apply them conditionally based on certain attributes.

Thanks! Is there a way to handle errors for nested models?

MagicBuddy

Yes, you can access the errors of nested models through the parent model's errors collection, allowing you to display them in your forms.
