Hello,
I want to validates a value among possible values with validate_inclusion but I’m stuck.
My use case is an avatar generation system, layer by layer. An avatar is defined by a pack (Dragon Ball, Among Us…) and many layers (body, hat, pants…). Let’s say that you chose the Dragon ball pack that only has 3 bodies while the Among Us pack has 10. I need the enum argument of validates_inclusion(:body, enum) to depend on the pack.
Is it possible? How could I implement that?
Thanks!

Is the chosen pack somewhere in the changeset?
If yes then with fetch_field you can get the pack, and from that find the right enum to pass in the validation function.
Welcome here !

Hi Lud! Thank for your reply.
The pack is indeed in the changeset.
How would you pass the right enum to validate_inclusion since it expects (as I understand it at least) a static enum.
I would love to pass a function to validate_inclusion that receives the changeset and returns an enum.
lud
I dont think the enum has to be static. I think you can pass any valid enumerable.
So something like that should work:

It works pefectly, thanks!
