module ActiveRecord #:nodoc:
# A simple base class that can be used along with ActiveRecord::Base.validates_with
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# validates_with MyValidator

# end
# end
#
# Any class that inherits from ActiveRecord::Validator will have access to <tt>record</tt>,
# which is an instance of the record being validated, and must implement a method called <tt>validate</tt>.
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# validates_with MyValidator
# end
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveRecord::Validator
# def validate
# 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 <tt>record<tt>'s errors directly
# from within the validators message
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveRecord::Validator
# def validate
# record.errors[:base] << "This is some custom error message"
# record.errors[:first_name] << "This is some complex validation"

# To add behavior to the initialize method, use the following signature:
#
# class MyValidator < ActiveRecord::Validator
# def initialize(record, options)
# super
# @my_custom_field = options[:field_name] || :first_name
# end
# end
