Using options in attributes ​

Option type input internal output ​

This option is validation. It will check that the passed value corresponds to the specified type (class). The is_a? method is used.

Always required to specify. May contain one or more classes.

ruby
class NotificationsService::Create < ApplicationService::Base
  input :user, type: User
  input :need_to_notify, type: [TrueClass, FalseClass]

  # ...
end
ruby
class NotificationsService::Create < ApplicationService::Base
  # ...

  internal :inviter, type: User

  # ...
end
ruby
class NotificationsService::Create < ApplicationService::Base
  # ...

  output :notification, type: Notification

  # ...
end

Option required input ​

This option is validation. It will check that the passed value is not empty. The present? method is used.

By default, required is set to true.

ruby
class UsersService::Create < ApplicationService::Base
  input :first_name,
        type: String

  input :middle_name,
        type: String,
        required: false

  input :last_name,
        type: String

  # ...
end

Option default input ​

This option is not validation. It will assign a value to the attribute if one was not passed to the service.

ruby
class UsersService::Create < ApplicationService::Base
  # ...

  input :middle_name,
        type: String,
        required: false,
        default: "<unknown>"

  # ...
end

Option as input ​

This option is not validation. It will indicate the new name of the attribute to work within the service. The original name inside the service will no longer be available.

ruby
class NotificationsService::Create < ApplicationService::Base
  input :user,
        as: :recipient,
        type: User

  # ...

  def create!
    outputs.notification =
      Notification.create!(recipient: inputs.recipient)
  end
end

Option inclusion input internal (^2.2.0) output (^2.2.0) ​

This option is validation. It will check that the passed value is in the specified array. The include? method is used.

ruby
class EventsService::Send < ApplicationService::Base
  input :event_name,
        type: String,
        inclusion: %w[created rejected approved]

  # ...
end
ruby
class EventsService::Send < ApplicationService::Base
  # ...

  internal :event_name,
           type: String,
           inclusion: %w[created rejected approved]

  # ...
end
ruby
class EventsService::Send < ApplicationService::Base
  # ...

  output :event_name,
         type: String,
         inclusion: %w[created rejected approved]

  # ...
end

Option consists_of input (^2.0.0) internal (^2.0.0) output (^2.0.0) ​

INFO

Since version 2.6.0 this option is dynamic.

This option is validation. This option is dynamic. It will check that each value in the collection matches the specified type (class). Checks nested values. The is_a? method is used.

Works only with Array and Set types. You can add a custom type through the collection_mode_class_names configuration.

Explicit use of this option is optional. The default value is String.

ruby
input :ids,
      type: Array,
      consists_of: String
ruby
internal :ids,
         type: Array,
         consists_of: String
ruby
output :ids,
       type: Array,
       consists_of: String

Option schema input (^2.0.0) internal (^2.0.0) output (^2.0.0) ​

This option is validation. Requires a hash value that must describe the value structure of the output attribute.

Only works with the Hash type. You can add a custom type through the hash_mode_class_names configuration.

Explicit use of this option is optional. If the schema value is not specified, the validation will be skipped. By default, no value is specified.

ruby
input :payload,
      type: Hash,
      schema: {
        request_id: { type: String, required: true },
        user: {
          type: Hash,
          required: true,
          first_name: { type: String, required: true },
          middle_name: { type: String, required: false, default: "<unknown>" },
          last_name: { type: String, required: true },
          pass: {
            type: Hash,
            required: true,
            series: { type: String, required: true },
            number: { type: String, required: true }
          }
        }
      }
ruby
internal :payload,
         type: Hash,
         schema: {
           request_id: { type: String, required: true },
           user: {
             type: Hash,
             required: true,
             first_name: { type: String, required: true },
             middle_name: { type: String, required: false, default: "<unknown>" },
             last_name: { type: String, required: true },
             pass: {
               type: Hash,
               required: true,
               series: { type: String, required: true },
               number: { type: String, required: true }
             }
           }
         }
ruby
output :payload,
       type: Hash,
       schema: {
         request_id: { type: String, required: true },
         user: {
           type: Hash,
           required: true,
           first_name: { type: String, required: true },
           middle_name: { type: String, required: false, default: "<unknown>" },
           last_name: { type: String, required: true },
           pass: {
             type: Hash,
             required: true,
             series: { type: String, required: true },
             number: { type: String, required: true }
           }
         }
       }

Each expected hash key must be described in the following format:

ruby
{
  request_id: { type: String, required: true }
}

The following options are allowed: type, required and the optional default.

If the type value is Hash, then nesting can be described in the same format.

Option must input internal (^2.2.0) output (^2.2.0) ​

This option is validation. Allows you to create your own validations.

ruby
class PaymentsService::Create < ApplicationService::Base
  input :invoice_numbers,
        type: Array,
        consists_of: String,
        must: {
          be_6_characters: {
            is: ->(value:, input:) { value.all? { |id| id.size == 6 } }
          }
        }

  # ...
end
ruby
class EventsService::Send < ApplicationService::Base
  # ...

  internal :invoice_numbers,
           type: Array,
           consists_of: String,
           must: {
             be_6_characters: {
               is: ->(value:, internal:) { value.all? { |id| id.size == 6 } }
             }
           }

  # ...
end
ruby
class EventsService::Send < ApplicationService::Base
  # ...

  output :invoice_numbers,
         type: Array,
         consists_of: String,
         must: {
           be_6_characters: {
             is: ->(value:, output:) { value.all? { |id| id.size == 6 } }
           }
         }

  # ...
end

Option prepare input ​

This option is not validation. It is used to prepare the passed value.

WARNING

Use the prepare option carefully and only for simple preparatory actions. For example, as shown below. Any logic that is more complex than that in the example below is better applied through the make action.

ruby
class PaymentsService::Create < ApplicationService::Base
  input :amount_cents,
        as: :amount,
        type: Integer,
        prepare: ->(value:) { Money.from_cents(value, :USD) }

  # ...

  def create!
    outputs.payment = Payment.create!(amount: inputs.amount)
  end
end
