So a little trick for you (which isn’t particularly Discourse specific btw):

In your dev discourse directory do:

```plaintext
git log -SInputValidation -p

```

And 🎉 , you can immediately see a potentially modern equivalent!:

```bash
-import InputValidation from "discourse/models/input-validation";
+import EmberObject from "@ember/object";

 export default Controller.extend({
   adminWebHooks: inject(),
@@ -41,14 +41,14 @@ export default Controller.extend({
   secretValidation(secret) {
     if (!isEmpty(secret)) {
       if (secret.indexOf(" ") !== -1) {
- return InputValidation.create({
+ return EmberObject.create({
           failed: true,
           reason: I18n.t("admin.web_hooks.secret_invalid")
         });
