For example: # # class TitleValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator # def validate_each(record, attribute, value) # record.errors.add attribute, 'must be Mr. Mrs. or Dr.' unless value.in?(['Mr.', 'Mrs.', 'Dr.']) # end # end # # This can now be used in combination with the +validates+ method # (see ActiveModel::Validations::ClassMethods.validates for more on this) # # class Person # include ActiveModel::Validations # attr_accessor :title # # validates :title, :presence => true # end # # Validator may also define a +setup+ instance method which will get called # with the class that using that validator as its argument. 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 # # This setup method is only called when used with validation macros or the # class level validates_with method. # class Validator attr_reader :options # Returns the kind of the validator.
