CFWHeels model validation based on action

CFWHeels model validation based on action

This will enable you to run CFWheels validation functions based on the params.action.

With this, you can validate certain properties only for certain actions.

Controller.cfc
Function setParamsValidation
Add params to the request scope.

YourController.cfc
Use a filter in your controllers to call setParamsValidation.

YourModel.cfc
In your models you use the condition argument of the validation function to specify with which action it should run.

Controller.cfc

<cfscript>
	component extends="Wheels" {
		public function setParamsValidation() {
			request.paramsValidation = {
				action = params.action
			};
		}
	}
</cfscript>

YourController.cfc

<cfscript>
	component extends="Controller" {
		public void function init() {
			filters(through="setParamsValidation");
		}
	}
</cfscript>

YourModel.cfc

<cfscript>
	component extends="Model" {
		public void function init() {
			validatesPresenceOf(properties="property", condition="request.paramsValidation.action EQ 'yourAction'");
	}
</cfscript>
