Hanami - How to properly check if a model has been persisted?

Question

I'm a newbie in hanami coming from a rails background, and I would like to know the best practice in verifying that a model has been persisted in a create Action.

I created a users/create action that looks like this:

class Create
    include Web::Action

    def call(params)
          repository = UserRepository.new

          @user = repository.create(name: params[:user][:name], 
                                    email: params[:user][:email],
                                    type: 'standard')
          redirect_to '/users'
    end
  end

I wanted to make sure that I only redirect the users if the user was successfully created. I rails, I would do something like this:

redirect_to '/users' if @user.persisted?

But that is not the hanami way of doing things. Currently I'm doing this:

redirect_to '/users' if [email protected]?

Which does the job, but it doesn't looks clean. How would be the best way to do this with hanami?

Try something like this.

def call(params)
  repository = UserRepository.new

  @user = repository.create(name: params[:user][:name], 
                            email: params[:user][:email],
                            type: 'standard')
  redirect_to '/users'
rescue Hanami::Model::Error
  # handle the error
end
