Example: + + Model: + class Person < ActiveRecord::Base + validate_confirmation :password + end + + View: + <%= password_field "person", "password" %> + <%= password_field "person", "password_confirmation" %> + + The person has to already have a password attribute (a column in the people table), but the password_confirmation is virtual. + It exists only as an in-memory variable for validating the password. + + NOTE: This validation is only happening on create. When you want to update the record, you'll have to decide and pursue your + own course of action. + * Added validation macros to make the stackable just like the lifecycle callbacks. Examples: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base -- cgit v1.2.3
