module ActiveModel
# Provides a modified +OrderedHash+ that you can include in your object
# for handling error messages and interacting with Action Pack helpers.
#
# A minimal implementation could be:
#
# class Person
#
# # Required dependency for ActiveModel::Errors
# extend ActiveModel::Naming
#
# def initialize
# @errors = ActiveModel::Errors.new(self)
# end
#
# attr_accessor :name
# attr_reader :errors
#
# def validate!
# errors.add(:name, "can not be nil") if name == nil
# end
#
# # The following methods are needed to be minimally implemented
#
# def read_attribute_for_validation(attr)
# send(attr)
# end
#
# def ErrorsPerson.human_attribute_name(attr, options = {})
# attr
# end
#
# def ErrorsPerson.lookup_ancestors
# [self]
# end
#
# end
#
# The last three methods are required in your object for Errors to be
# able to generate error messages correctly and also handle multiple
# languages. Of course, if you extend your object with ActiveModel::Translations
# you will not need to implement the last two. Likewise, using
# ActiveModel::Validations will handle the validation related methods
# for you.
#
# The above allows you to do:
#
# p = Person.new
# p.validate! # => ["can not be nil"]
# p.errors.full_messages # => ["name can not be nil"]
# # etc..
