@cmrichards

I know, that's why I'm saying thanks!

Any idea when dry-data and dry-validation will be ready enough to use in place of Virtus?

@solnic

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

depends on what you need :)

I stopped using virtus already fwiw

philosophy is quite different than in virtus

so it requires a different approach

which is why it cannot be treated as a replacement

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

@solnic I use Virtus only for web forms in rails. I include activerecord validations. It works perfectly.

It's hard to imagine anything simpler

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

really? dry-data/validation is not just simpler but more powerful :D

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

Great, i'll try it.

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

I'm wrapping up stuff for dry-v 0.4.0

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

If I have a User class, "class User < Dry::Data::Struct", can you just do User.new(params[:user]) to create an instance?

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

it's gonna reach 1.0.0 once I figure out how to optimize errors, this part will need quite some work

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

It's not clear in the docs

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

yes, although structs are strict wrt hash input, it'll raise when keys are missing

it's not a replacement for virtus models

ie dry-v builds up a coercible hash using dry-d for Schema::Form, it does form coercions for you and symbolizes keys

there are different types of hashes in dry-d, so you have a strict one, a non-strict one, non-strict with symbolized-keys (that's the one that dry-v is using)

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

dry-d structs and values are meant to be used as your domain data types, strictness is encouraged too

not just wrt type primitives but also any possible constraints

there’s a lot tbd to improve errors coming from dry-d though, it’s a bit rough right now

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

So how would you do something simple like this in drd? https://gist.github.com/cmrichards/364920a5ffd6c49420c5

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

gimme a minute, I actually just added new features to dry-v to allow this

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

class BarcodeSchema < Dry::Validation::Schema::Form
  key(:barcode, &:filled?)
  key(:job_number) { |v| v.none? | v.int? }
  key(:sample_number) { |v| v.none? | v.int? }

  rule(:barcode_only) do
    rule(:barcode) ^ (rule(:job_number) | rule(:sample_number))
  end

  def self.messages
    Dry::Validation::Messages.default.merge(
      en: { errors: {
        barcode_only: 'Can only enter data into barcode OR job/sample fields, not both'
      }}
    )
  end
end

@cmrichards something like that will be possible starting from dry-v 0.4.0

I’m not sure if people will like using logic in the long term so maybe we can introduce higher-level macros, but I dunno, I kinda like it, forces you to think in terms of pure logic

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

I agree.
It looks pretty good

and you do BarcodeScheme.new(params[..]) ?

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

oh and typically you want to put error messages in a yaml file

uhm, actually this is not an equivalent of your example, seems like we need a negation support there

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

I get the idea though

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

ok cool :)

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

is there a "valid?" method or is that done differently?

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

no, it’s stateless

so it’s schema = MySchema.new and schema.call(params)

it returns a result object back with a ton of information

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

And the result object is a hash?

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

it’s a validation result object, it responds to #messages which gives you compiled error messages as a hash with access to string error messages and the input for each error

{:barcode_only=>[["Can only enter data into barcode OR job/sample fields, not both"], "123"]}

sth like that

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

I see. So there will be more work needed for it to work with Rails form_for helpers?

I look forward to using it. For now I gotta go. Thanks.

This seems a bit like reform contracts?

the "reform" gem

Piotr Solnica

@solnic

reform will use it soon (or even already has support for it)

we collaborate with Nick a lot lately

Chris Richards

@cmrichards

excellent

Piotr Solnica
