module ActiveModel #:nodoc:
# A simple base class that can be used along with
# +ActiveModel::Validations::ClassMethods.validates_with+
#
# class Person
# include ActiveModel::Validations
# validates_with MyValidator
# end
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
# def validate(record)
# if some_complex_logic
# record.errors[:base] = "This record is invalid"
# end
# end
#
# private
# def some_complex_logic
# # ...
# end
# end
#
# Any class that inherits from ActiveModel::Validator must implement a method
# called validate which accepts a record.
#
# class Person
# include ActiveModel::Validations
# validates_with MyValidator
# end
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
# def validate(record)
# record # => The person instance being validated
# options # => Any non-standard options passed to validates_with
# end
# end
#
# To cause a validation error, you must add to the record's errors directly
# from within the validators message
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
# def validate(record)
# record.errors[:base] << "This is some custom error message"
# record.errors[:first_name] << "This is some complex validation"
# # etc...
# end
# end
#
# To add behavior to the initialize method, use the following signature:
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
# def initialize(record, options)
# super
# @my_custom_field = options[:field_name] || :first_name
# end
# end
#
# The easiest way to add custom validators for validating individual attributes
# is with the convenient ActiveModel::EachValidator for example:
#
# class TitleValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
# def validate_each(record, attribute, value)
# record.errors[attribute] << 'must be Mr. Mrs. or Dr.' unless ['Mr.', 'Mrs.', 'Dr.'].include?(value)
# 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, :title => true
# end
#
# Validator may also define a +setup+ instance method which will get called
# with the class that using that validator as it's 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.

# == Examples
#
# PresenceValidator.kind #=> :presence
# UniquenessValidator.kind #=> :uniqueness
#

# Accepts options that will be made available through the +options+ reader.
def initialize(options)
@options = options
end
# Return the kind for this validator.

# to the records +errors+ array where necessary.

# in the options hash invoking the validate_each method passing in the
# record, attribute and value.

# that the arguments supplied are valid. You could for example raise an
# ArgumentError when invalid options are supplied.
