Check that a field is unique in the related table

use Phalcon\Validation\Validator\Uniqueness as UniquenessValidator;

$validator->add(
    "username",
    new UniquenessValidator(
        [
            "model"   => new Users(),
            "message" => ":field must be unique",
        ]
    )
);

Different attribute from the field:

$validator->add(
    "username",
    new UniquenessValidator(
        [
            "model"     => new Users(),
            "attribute" => "nick",
        ]
    )
);

In model:

$validator->add(
    "username",
    new UniquenessValidator()
);

Combination of fields in model:

$validator->add(
    [
        "firstName",
        "lastName",
    ],
    new UniquenessValidator()
);

It is possible to convert values before validation. This is useful in situations where values need to be converted to do the database lookup:

$validator->add(
    "username",
    new UniquenessValidator(
        [
            "convert" => function (array $values) {
                $values["username"] = strtolower($values["username"]);

                return $values;
            }
        ]
    )
);
