validating-saving.cr - before custom_validation

[ghost]

Hello there,

I am not really facing an issue, so forgive me if I missed something. It is pretty minor.

I am writing a Save::Operation in which I want to validate an e-mail address. Following the example:

website/src/actions/guides/database/validating-saving.cr

Line 339 in d56ea7f

before validate_user_is_old_enough

, I would write it like this:

before validate_email

private def validate_email
  # ... some implementation
end

But then I get the following error: Error: undefined local variable or method 'validate_email' for SaveUser.class. Could it be that the before_save-hook should be used?

# before validate_email
before_save validate_email

Yes that is correct! It should be “before_save”

We can add a compile time error for “before” that tells people to use “before_save”

Let me know if you have any other questions

Also we need to update the guide. Thanks for pointing that out! I didn’t realize this was in the website repo when I first saw it
