Runs in all # validation contexts by default (+nil+), other options are :create # and :update. # * :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. # * :strict - Specifies whether validation should be strict. # See ActiveModel::Validation#validates! for more information def validates_format_of(*attr_names) validates_with FormatValidator, _merge_attributes(attr_names) end end end end
