This can be provided as a proc or lambda # returning regular expression which will be called at runtime. # * :without - Regular expression that if the attribute does not match # will result in a successful validation. This can be provided as a proc or # lambda returning regular expression which will be called at runtime. # * :on - Specifies when this validation is active. 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
