This can be # useful when there are prerequisites such as an attr_accessor being present # for example: # # class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator # def setup(klass) # klass.send :attr_accessor, :custom_attribute # end # end # class Validator attr_reader :options # Returns the kind of the validator. # # == Examples # # PresenceValidator.kind #=> :presence # UniquenessValidator.kind #=> :uniqueness # def self.kind @kind ||= name.split('::').last.underscore.sub(/_validator$/, '').to_sym unless anonymous? end # Accepts options that will be made availible through the +options+ reader. def initialize(options) @options = options end # Return the kind for this validator. def kind self.class.kind end # Override this method in subclasses with validation logic, adding errors # to the records +errors+ array where necessary. def validate(record) raise NotImplementedError end end # EachValidator is a validator which iterates through the attributes given # in the options hash invoking the validate_each method passing in the # record, attribute and value. # # All ActiveModel validations are built on top of this Validator. class EachValidator < Validator attr_reader :attributes # Returns a new validator instance. All options will be available via the # +options+ reader, however the :attributes option will be removed # and instead be made available through the +attributes+ reader. def initialize(options) @attributes = Array(options.delete(:attributes)) raise ":attributes cannot be blank" if @attributes.empty? super check_validity! end # Performs validation on the supplied record.
