We'll cover validation errors in greater depth in the [Working with Validation
-Errors](#working-with-validation-errors) section. For now, let's turn to the
-built-in validation helpers that Rails provides by default.
+Errors](#working-with-validation-errors) section.
+
+### `errors.details`
+
+To check what validator type was used on invalid attribute, you can use
+`errors.details[:attribute]`. It returns array of hashes where under `:error`
+ key you will find symbol of used validator.
+
+```ruby
+class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+ validates :name, presence: true
+end
+
+>> person = Person.new
+>> person.valid?
+>> person.errors.details[:name] #=> [{error: :blank}]
+```
+
+Using `details` with custom validators are covered in the [Working with
+Validation Errors](#working-with-validation-errors) section.

# => ["Name cannot contain the characters !@#%*()_-+="]
```
+### `errors.details`
+
+You can add validator type to details hash when using `errors.add` method.
+
+```ruby
+ class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+ def a_method_used_for_validation_purposes
+ errors.add(:name, :invalid_characters)
+ end
+ end
+
+ person = Person.create(name: "!@#")
+
+ person.errors.details[:name]
+ # => [{error: :invalid_characters}]
+```
+
+To improve error details to contain not allowed characters set, you can
+pass additional options to `errors.add` method.
+
+```ruby
+ class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+ def a_method_used_for_validation_purposes
+ errors.add(:name, :invalid_characters, not_allowed: "!@#%*()_-+=")
+ end
+ end
+
+ person = Person.create(name: "!@#")
+
+ person.errors.details[:name]
+ # => [{error: :invalid_characters, not_allowed: "!@#%*()_-+="}]
+```
+
+All built in Rails validators populate details hash with corresponding
+validator types.
+
### `errors[:base]`
You can add error messages that are related to the object's state as a whole, instead of being related to a specific attribute. You can use this method when you want to say that the object is invalid, no matter the values of its attributes. Since `errors[:base]` is an array, you can simply add a string to it and it will be used as an error message.
