Description

Returns a struct containing all validation rules for this model, keyed by trigger (onSave, onCreate, onUpdate). Each trigger contains an array of validation rule structs with method, properties, message, and other parameters.

Examples

// 1. Inspect all validation rules defined on the User model
info = model("User").validationInfo();
// info is keyed by trigger: onSave, onCreate, onUpdate
// Each key holds an array of rule structs, e.g.:
// info.onSave[1] -> {method: "validatesPresenceOf", properties: "email", message: "can't be blank", ...}
// info.onCreate -> []
// info.onUpdate -> []

// 2. Count how many rules fire on every save
info = model("User").validationInfo();
writeOutput("Rules on save: " & arrayLen(info.onSave));

// 3. List the validation methods used across all triggers
info = model("User").validationInfo();
for (trigger in info) {
    for (rule in info[trigger]) {
        writeOutput(trigger & ": " & rule.method & " on " & rule.properties);
    }
}
