  # == Active \Model \Validator
  #
  # A simple base class that can be used along with
  # ActiveModel::Validations::ClassMethods.validates_with
  #
  #   class Person
  #     include ActiveModel::Validations
  #     validates_with MyValidator

  # called +validate+ which accepts a +record+.
  #
  #   class Person
  #     include ActiveModel::Validations
  #     validates_with MyValidator
  #   end

  #       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.add :base, "This is some custom error message"
  #       record.errors.add :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(options)
  #       super
  #       @my_custom_field = options[:field_name] || :first_name
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # Note that the validator is initialized only once for the whole application
  # lifecycle, and not on each validation run.
  #
  # The easiest way to add custom validators for validating individual attributes
  # is with the convenient <tt>ActiveModel::EachValidator</tt>.
  #
  #   class TitleValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
  #     def validate_each(record, attribute, value)
  #       record.errors.add attribute, 'must be Mr., Mrs., or Dr.' unless %w(Mr. Mrs. Dr.).include?(value)
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # This can now be used in combination with the +validates+ method
  # (see <tt>ActiveModel::Validations::ClassMethods.validates</tt> for more on this).
  #

  #     include ActiveModel::Validations
  #     attr_accessor :title
  #
  #     validates :title, presence: true
  #   end
  #

  # as an +attr_accessor+ being present. This class is accessable via +options[:class]+ in the constructor.
  # To setup your validator override the constructor.
