This is useful when # overriding the +validate+ instance method becomes too unwieldly and # you're looking for more descriptive declaration of your validations. # # This can be done with a symbol pointing to a method: # # class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base # validate :must_be_friends # # def must_be_friends # errors.add_to_base("Must be friends to leave a comment") unless commenter.friend_of?(commentee) # end # end # # Or with a block which is passed the current record to be validated: # # class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base # validate do |comment| # comment.must_be_friends # end # # def must_be_friends # errors.add_to_base("Must be friends to leave a comment") unless commenter.friend_of?(commentee) # end # end # # This usage applies to +validate_on_create+ and +validate_on_update as well+. # Validates each attribute against a block. # # class Person < ActiveRecord::Base # validates_each :first_name, :last_name do |record, attr, value| # record.errors.add attr, 'starts with z.' if value[0] == ?z # end # end # # Options: # * :on - Specifies when this validation is active (default is :save, other options :create, :update). # * :allow_nil - Skip validation if attribute is +nil+. # * :allow_blank - Skip validation if attribute is blank. # * :if - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should # occur (e.g. :if => :allow_validation, or :if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }). The # method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value. # * :unless - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should # not occur (e.g. :unless => :skip_validation, or :unless => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step <= 2 }).
