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;
     }
 ]));
