twmills / rails-validators Goto Github PK

Hi, I like the idea :)

Would be nice if the validators were encapsulated as an engine or as a gem, perhaps with a generator to copy the validator files into app/validators of the Rails app.
Just some ideas...

Also here an Email Validator alternative:

http://my.rails-royce.org/2010/07/21/email-validation-in-ruby-on-rails-without-regexp/

Here are some personal ideas for validators:

class CompanyNameValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
  def validate_each(record,attribute,value)
    record.errors[attribute] << "has invalid characters" unless value =~ /^[a-zA-Z0-9\_\-\ ]*?$/
  end
end

class PersonNameValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
  def validate_each(record,attribute,value)
    record.errors[attribute] << "has invalid characters" unless value =~ /^[a-zA-Z\-\ ]*?$/
  end
end

  validates :first_name, :presence => true, :person_name => true
  validates :last_name, :presence => true, :person_name => true

  validates :name, :presence => true, :length => {:within => 2..40}, :company_name => true

I will make a fork and make some additions, then you can pull if you like ;)
