module HelperMethods
# Encapsulates the pattern of wanting to validate the acceptance of a terms of service check box (or similar agreement). Example:
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# validates_acceptance_of :terms_of_service
# validates_acceptance_of :eula, :message => "must be abided"
# end
#
# If the database column does not exist, the +terms_of_service+ attribute is entirely virtual. This check is
# performed only if +terms_of_service+ is not +nil+ and by default on save.
#
# Configuration options:
# * :message - A custom error message (default is: "must be accepted").
# * :on - Specifies when this validation is active (default is :save, other options :create, :update).
# * :allow_nil - Skip validation if attribute is +nil+ (default is true).
# * :accept - Specifies value that is considered accepted. The default value is a string "1", which
# makes it easy to relate to an HTML checkbox. This should be set to +true+ if you are validating a database
# column, since the attribute is typecast from "1" to +true+ before validation.
# * :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 }). The
# method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
