Ecto validation error messages

Questions / Help
1

In Ecto.Changeset the validation functions often use a message/2 function when adding error messages, as follows:

  if repo.one(query) do
    add_error(changeset, hd(fields), message(opts, "has already been taken"),
              validation: :unsafe_unique, fields: fields)
  else
    changeset
  end
  : 
  :

I feel silly asking this, but I’m writing some new validation functions for my app, and I’ve not been able to find a definition for this message/2 function. What are the opts it accepts, etc…? Where is that function message/2 defined? I know that it just outputs a string, so I can just interpolate an appropriate string, but is there functionality via ‘opts’ that I should be using?

So

message(opts, "has already been taken")

is equivalent to

Keyword.get(opts, :message, "has already been taken")
