Identifies a has-many relationship in an Ember Data Model or Ember.Object.
This is used to create a validation collection of the has-many validations.
Note: Validations must exist on all models/objects
Ember Models
// model/users.js
const Validations = buildValidations({
friends: validator('has-many')
});
export default DS.Model.extend(Validations, {
friends: DS.hasMany('user')
});
Ember Objects
// model/users.js
const Validations = buildValidations({
friends: validator('has-many')
});
export default Ember.Object.extend(Validations, {
friends: null
});
From our user model, we can now check validation properties on the friends attribute.
get(model, 'validations.attrs.friends.isValid')
get(model, 'validations.attrs.friends.messages')

Build options hook. Merges default options into options object. This method gets called on init and is the ideal place to normalize your options. The presence validator is a good example to checkout
Returns:
-

value -
options
Used by all pre-defined validators to build an error message that is present
in validators/message or declared in your i18n solution.
If we extended our default messages to include uniqueUsername: '{username} already exists',
we can use this method to generate our error message.
validate(value, options) {
var exists = false;
get(options, 'description') = 'Username';
get(options, 'username') = value;
// check with server if username exists...
if(exists) {
return this.createErrorMessage('uniqueUsername', value, options);
}
return true;
}
If we input johndoe and that username already exists, the returned message would be 'johndoe already exists'.

The validate method is where all of your logic should go. It will get passed in the current value of the attribute this validator is attached to. Within the validator object, you will have access to the following properties:
