# Passes the record off to the class or classes specified and allows them to add errors based on more complex conditions.
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# validates_with MyValidator
# end
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveRecord::Validator
# def validate
# if some_complex_logic
# record.errors[:base] << "This record is invalid"
# end
# end
#
# private
# def some_complex_logic
# # ...
# end
# end
#
# You may also pass it multiple classes, like so:
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# validates_with MyValidator, MyOtherValidator, :on => :create
# end
#
# Configuration options:
# * on - Specifies when this validation is active (:create or :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.
#
# If you pass any additional configuration options, they will be passed to the class and available as options:
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# validates_with MyValidator, :my_custom_key => "my custom value"
# end
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveRecord::Validator
# def validate
# options[:my_custom_key] # => "my custom value"
# end
# end
