class Validatable < ActiveFedora::Base
  include Hydra::Validations
  has_metadata name: 'descMetadata', type: ActiveFedora::QualifiedDublinCoreDatastream
  has_attributes :title, datastream: 'descMetadata', multiple: false
  # Can use with multi-value attributes, but single cardinality is required.
  # See SingleCardinalityValidator below.
  has_attributes :source, datastream: 'descMetadata', multiple: true

  # validates_uniqueness_of helper method
  validates_uniqueness_of :title, solr_name: "title_ssi"

  # Using `validates' with options
  validates :source, uniqueness: { solr_name: "subject_ssim" }
end
```

### SingleCardinalityValidatory (Can be used with POROs)

```ruby
class Validatable
  include ActiveModel::Validations # required if not already included in class
  include Hydra::Validations
  attr_accessor :field
  validates :field, single_cardinality: true
end
