Description

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
seenErrors	array	no	[runtime expression]

Examples

// 1. Collect all validation errors from associated objects on a post
post = model("Post").findOne(where="id=1", include="comments");
errors = post.allAssociationErrors();
// errors -> array of error structs from associated comments (and their associations, recursively)
// Each struct contains keys: property, message, name

// 2. Use allErrors() with includeAssociations=true instead (preferred shorthand)
// allErrors() calls allAssociationErrors() internally when includeAssociations is true
post = model("Post").findOne(where="id=1", include="comments");
allErrors = post.allErrors(includeAssociations=true);
// allErrors -> combined array of the post's own errors plus all associated errors

// 3. Check if any associated model has errors before saving
order = model("Order").findOne(where="id=1", include="lineItems");
associationErrors = order.allAssociationErrors();
if (arrayLen(associationErrors)) {
    writeOutput("One or more line items have validation errors.");
}
