问题
I have a model that has two fields, which I will call first_name and last_name, and I want to make sure that the combination of the two are case-insensitively unique. I've gotten halfway there by using this:
validates_uniqueness_of :first_name, :scope => :last_name
The problem is that the uniqueness check seems to be case sensitive, even though the documentation says it should be case insensitive by default. So given an existing record:
{ :first_name => 'John', :last_name => 'Smith' }
This will be allowed:
{ :first_name => 'JOHN', :last_name => 'SMITH' }
As well as any additional record where there is any variation of case in either the first or last name. Why are these records being allowed? How can I enforce case insensitive uniqueness across both fields together?
回答1:
Did you try validates_uniqueness_of :first_name, :scope => :last_name, :case_sensitive => false?
The documentation says it's true by default.
(I think the link you gave is to some outdated documentation. IIRC, the default for this did change in the last couple of years.)
