validates_uniqueness_of elasticsearch persistence

Question

How to validates_uniqueness_of for elasticsearch persistence. I have in a model with the include statement

include Elasticsearch::Persistence::Model

I want to include a uniqueness validation like validates_uniqueness_of :username

When I tried to initialize with a new function NoMethodError: undefined method validates_uniqueness_of for class

Trace

class Profile
  include Elasticsearch::Persistence::Model

  attribute :user_id
  attribute :username, String, mapping: { index: 'not_analyzed' }
  attribute :image_url

  validates_uniqueness_of :username

end

Answer 1

without changing Elasticsearch::Persistence::Model I basically had to create my own validations since I didn't see any validations other than presence. In short, you have to make a must search to make sure it doesn't exist

profiles = Profile.search query:{bool:{must:[{match:{username: "xxxxx"}}]}}
