# foreign_key_validation

Protect your models by specifying a collection of foreign keys that should be tested for consistency with the `belongs_to` relations. For example, When the `user_id` is used in all models we can check if the `user_id` of `model a` matches `user_id` of `model b` before saving the records.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'foreign_key_validation'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install foreign_key_validation

## Usage

Call `validate_foreign_keys` in your model. By default it assumes that it should check all foreign keys against the `user_id` column. So any relation accessed by `*_id` columns (except `user_id`) would be checked for a matching `user_id` (if the column exists).

Change behaviour by calling `validate_foreign_keys` with arguments hash.

	validate_foreign_keys on: :admin_user_id, with: [:project_id]

This would only check `model.project.admin_user_id` to match `model.admin_user_id`.

## Note

Only testet with ruby 2.x

## TODO
