# Validates whether the associated object or objects are all valid themselves. Works with any kind of association.

#
# WARNING: This validation must not be used on both ends of an association. Doing so will lead to a circular dependency and cause infinite recursion.
#
# NOTE: This validation will not fail if the association hasn't been assigned. If you want to
# ensure that the association is both present and guaranteed to be valid, you also need to
# use +validates_presence_of+.
#
# Configuration options:
# * :message - A custom error message (default is: "is invalid")
# * :on - Specifies when this validation is active. Runs in all
# validation contexts by default (+nil+), other options are :create
# and :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.
