# == Active \Model \Validator
#
# A simple base class that can be used along with
# ActiveModel::Validations::ClassMethods.validates_with
#
# class Person
# include ActiveModel::Validations
# validates_with MyValidator
# end
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
# def validate(record)
# if some_complex_logic
# record.errors[:base] = "This record is invalid"
# end

# def some_complex_logic
# # ...

# end
#
# Any class that inherits from ActiveModel::Validator must implement a method
# called +validate+ which accepts a +record+.
#
# class Person
# include ActiveModel::Validations
# validates_with MyValidator
# end
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
# def validate(record)
# record # => The person instance being validated
# options # => Any non-standard options passed to validates_with
# end
# end
#
# To cause a validation error, you must add to the +record+'s errors directly
# from within the validators message.
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
# def validate(record)
# record.errors.add :base, "This is some custom error message"
# record.errors.add :first_name, "This is some complex validation"
# # etc...
# end
# end
#
# To add behavior to the initialize method, use the following signature:
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
# def initialize(options)
# super
# @my_custom_field = options[:field_name] || :first_name
# end
# end
#
# Note that the validator is initialized only once for the whole application
# life cycle, and not on each validation run.
#
# The easiest way to add custom validators for validating individual attributes
# is with the convenient <tt>ActiveModel::EachValidator</tt>.
#
# class TitleValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
# def validate_each(record, attribute, value)
# record.errors.add attribute, 'must be Mr., Mrs., or Dr.' unless %w(Mr. Mrs. Dr.).include?(value)
# end
# end
#
# This can now be used in combination with the +validates+ method
# (see <tt>ActiveModel::Validations::ClassMethods.validates</tt> for more on this).
#
# class Person
# include ActiveModel::Validations
# attr_accessor :title
#
# validates :title, presence: true
# end
#
# It can be useful to access the class that is using that validator when there are prerequisites such
# as an +attr_accessor+ being present. This class is accessible via +options[:class]+ in the constructor.
# To setup your validator override the constructor.
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
# def initialize(options={})
# super
# options[:class].send :attr_accessor, :custom_attribute
