What DataMapper plugin gives :null property option

Question

I'm trying to adapt a piece of code that has:

property :email, String, :index => true, :null => false, :length => 1000

in the model definition. I'm getting this error:

ArgumentError: options :null are unknown
 from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/dm-core-0.10.2/lib/dm-core/property.rb:901:in `assert_valid_options'
 from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/dm-core-0.10.2/lib/dm-core/property.rb:811:in `initialize'
 from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/dm-core-0.10.2/lib/dm-core/model/property.rb:51:in `new'
 from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/dm-core-0.10.2/lib/dm-core/model/property.rb:51:in `property'

So I think that I'm missing a DataMapper plugin.

Answer 1

I'm not aware of any DataMapper plugin that uses the :null option.

On older versions of DataMapper you'd want to use :nullable => false. The most recent DataMapper (0.10.2) provides the clearer syntax :required => true. The other option is still supported, but is deprecated.
