Hints

In addition to error messages, you can also access hints, which are generated from your rules. While errors tell you which predicate checks failed, hints tell you which additional predicate checks were not evaluated because an earlier predicate failed:

# enable :hints

Dry::Schema.load_extensions(:hints)

schema = Dry::Schema.Params do
  required(:email).filled(:string)
  required(:age).filled(:integer, gt?: 18)
end

result = schema.call(email: 'jane@doe.org', age: '')
result.hints.to_h

# {:age=>['must be greater than 18']}

result = schema.call(email: 'jane@doe.org', age: '')

result.errors.to_h
# {:age=>['must be filled']}

result.hints.to_h
# {:age=>['must be greater than 18']}
# hints takes the same options as errors:

result.hints(full: true)
# {:age=>['age must be greater than 18']}

You can also use messages to get a combination of both errors and hints:

result = schema.call(email: 'jane@doe.org', age: '')
result.messages.to_h
# {:age=>["must be filled", "must be greater than 18"]}
