Unique together

[jsbUSMC]

It seems that this plugin ensures that values from the fields specified are each unique on the table. How would I go about using this plugin to ensure that the values of my fields are unique together in the table, but each is not forced to be unique on its own? Thank you for your help, and thank you for the work you've put in on this plugin!

@jsbUSMC,

right now we are checking each field individually. Maybe we could add an option compositeFields and if set to true, we check all the fields together.

Right now the error data is something like:

  {
    "field1": [{
       "keyword": "unique",
       "message": "field1 already in use."
     }],
    "field2": [{
       "keyword": "unique",
       "message": "field2 already in use."
     }]
  }

In this case (with composite fields) maybe we should return something like this:

  {
    "field1+field2": [{
       "keyword": "unique",
       "message": "field1 and field2 already in use."
     }]
  }

Or continue to return each field separately.

What do you think?

Sorry I must have missed this notification! I think that what you've proposed would be great.
