absent(attributes, opts \\ [])

View Source
@spec absent(attributes_or_arguments :: atom() | [atom()], opts :: Keyword.t()) ::

Validates the absence of a list of attributes or arguments.

If no options are provided, validates that they are all absent.

This works by changing your options and providing them to the present validation.

Options

  • :at_most (non_neg_integer/0) - At most this many must be absent. Defaults to the number of attributes provided

  • :exactly (non_neg_integer/0) - Exactly this many must be absent

@spec action_is(action :: atom()) :: Ash.Resource.Validation.ref()

Validates that the action is a specific action. Primarily meant for use in where.

Examples

validate present(:foo), where: [action_is(:bar)]
