# Validates that the specified attributes are not blank (as defined by
# Object#blank?), and, if the attribute is an association, that the
# associated object is not marked for destruction. Happens by default
# on save.
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_one :face
# validates_presence_of :face
# end
#
# The face attribute must be in the object and it cannot be blank or marked
# for destruction.
#
# If you want to validate the presence of a boolean field (where the real values
# are true and false), you will want to use
# validates_inclusion_of :field_name, in: [true, false].
#
# This is due to the way Object#blank? handles boolean values:
# false.blank? # => true.
#
# This validator defers to the ActiveModel validation for presence, adding the
# check to see that an associated object is not marked for destruction. This
# prevents the parent object from validating successfully and saving, which then
# deletes the associated object, thus putting the parent object into an invalid
# state.
#
# NOTE: This validation will not fail while using it with an association
# if the latter was assigned but not valid. If you want to ensure that
# it is both present and valid, you also need to use +validates_associated+.
#
# Configuration options:
# * :message - A custom error message (default is: "can't be blank").
# * :on - Specifies the contexts where this validation is active.
# Runs in all validation contexts by default (nil). You can pass a symbol
# or an array of symbols. (e.g. on: :create or
# on: :custom_validation_context or
# on: [:create, :custom_validation_context])
# * :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.
# * :strict - Specifies whether validation should be strict.
# See ActiveModel::Validation#validates! for more information.
