Rails Metaprogramming 10 x 0 Me
I am trying to do a dynamic check on an object.
In my application, the user can create questions that will be part of the form, and each question can have a validation.
So, I submit this form and pass the parameter to the following class:
require 'ostruct'
class QuestionResponse < OpenStruct
include ActiveModel::Validations
include ActiveModel::Conversion
extend ActiveModel::Naming
extend ActiveModel::Callbacks
def fields
@table.keys
end
def add_validators
stored_questions = AdmissionForm.find(self.form_id).questions.all
questions = fields.select{|f| f.to_s[0]=="q"}
questions.each do |question_param|
question = stored_questions.select{|f| f["id"] == question_param.to_s.gsub("q_","").to_i}.first
unless question.validations.empty?
validations = "validates :#{question_param} , #{question.validations.join(",")}"
self.class.instance_eval validations
end
end
end
def initialize(*args)
super
add_validators if self.fields.any?
end
def persisted? ; false ; end;
end
It almost works. My problem is that subsequent form posts are merging ActiveModel :: Errors
#<ActiveModel::Errors:0x00000004432520
@base=#<QuestionResponse q_7="", q_6="", form_id="1">,
@messages=
{:q_7=>["cant be blank", "cant be blank"],
:q_6=>["cant be blank", "cant be blank"]}>
What am I doing wrong?
Thank!
Alex
