module ActiveModel
  module Validations
    module ClassMethods
      # This method is a shortcut to all default validators and any custom
      # validator classes ending in 'Validator'. Note that Rails default
      # validators can be overridden inside specific classes by creating
      # custom validator classes in their place such as PresenceValidator.
      # 
      # Examples of using the default rails validators:
      #
      #   validates :terms, :acceptance => true
      #   validates :password, :confirmation => true
      #   validates :username, :exclusion => { :in => %w(admin superuser) }
      #   validates :email, :format => { :with => /\A([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})\Z/i, :on => :create }
      #   validates :age, :inclusion => { :in => 0..9 }
      #   validates :first_name, :length => { :maximum => 30 }
      #   validates :age, :numericality => true
      #   validates :username, :presence => true
      #   validates :username, :uniqueness => true
      # 
      # The power of the +validates+ method comes when using cusom validators
      # and default validators in one call for a given attribute e.g.
      #
      #   class EmailValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
      #     def validate_each(record, attribute, value)
      #       record.errors[attribute] << (options[:message] || "is not an email") unless
      #         value =~ /^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i
      #     end
      #   end
      # 
      #   class Person
      #     include ActiveModel::Validations
      #     attr_accessor :name, :email
      # 
      #     validates :name, :presence => true, :uniqueness => true, :length => { :maximum => 100 }
      #     validates :email, :presence => true, :email => true
      #   end
      # 
      # Validator classes my also exist within the class being validated
      # allowing custom modules of validators to be included as needed e.g.
      #
      #   class Film
      #     include ActiveModel::Validations
      #
      #     class TitleValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
      #       def validate_each(record, attribute, value)
      #         record.errors[attribute] << "must start with 'the'" unless =~ /^the/i
      #       end
      #     end
      #
      #     validates :name, :title => true
      #   end
      #
      # The validators hash can also handle regular expressions, ranges and arrays:
      #
      #   validates :email, :format => /@/
      #   validates :gender, :inclusion => %w(male female)
      #   validates :password, :length => 6..20
      #
      # Finally, the options :if, :unless, :on, :allow_blank and :allow_nil can be given
      # to one specific validator:
      #
      #   validates :password, :presence => { :if => :password_required? }, :confirmation => true
      #
      # Or to all at the same time:
      #
      #   validates :password, :presence => true, :confirmation => true, :if => :password_required?
      #
      def validates(*attributes)
