# Active Records implement validation by overwriting Base#validate (or the variations, +validate_on_create+ and

# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

# def validate
# errors.add_on_empty %w( first_name last_name )
# errors.add("phone_number", "has invalid format") unless phone_number =~ /[0-9]*/

# def validate_on_create # is only run the first time a new object is saved
# unless valid_discount?(membership_discount)
# errors.add("membership_discount", "has expired")
# end

# def validate_on_update
# errors.add_to_base("No changes have occurred") if unchanged_attributes?
# end

#
