# Authlogic::Session::Validation

Responsible for session validation

### Public Instance Methods

attempted_record() click to toggle source

You should use this as a place holder for any records that you find during validation. The main reason for this is to allow other modules to use it if needed. Take the failed_login_count feature, it needs this in order to increase the failed login count.

    # File lib/authlogic/session/validation.rb, line 28
    def attempted_record
      @attempted_record
    end

attempted_record=(value) click to toggle source

See attempted_record

    # File lib/authlogic/session/validation.rb, line 33
    def attempted_record=(value)
      @attempted_record = value
    end

errors() click to toggle source

The errors in Authlogic work JUST LIKE ActiveRecord. In fact, it uses the exact same ActiveRecord errors class. Use it the same way:

### Example

    class UserSession
      before_validation :check_if_awesome

      private
        def check_if_awesome
          errors.add(:login, "must contain awesome") if login && !login.include?("awesome")
          errors.add(:base, "You must be awesome to log in") unless attempted_record.awesome?
        end
    end

    # File lib/authlogic/session/validation.rb, line 51
    def errors
      @errors ||= Errors.new(self)
    end

valid?() click to toggle source

Determines if the information you provided for authentication is valid or not. If there is a problem with the information provided errors will be added to the errors object and this method will return false.

    # File lib/authlogic/session/validation.rb, line 58
    def valid?
      errors.clear
      self.attempted_record = nil

      before_validation
      new_session? ? before_validation_on_create : before_validation_on_update
      validate
      ensure_authentication_attempted

      if errors.size == 0
        new_session? ? after_validation_on_create : after_validation_on_update
        after_validation
      end

      save_record(attempted_record)
      errors.size == 0
    end
