Validators

Add some nice ActiveModel/ActiveRecord validators.

Installation

gem install validators

Then add it to your Gemfile:

gem"validators"

Usage

validates_email_format_of

classUser < ActiveRecord::Base# old fashionvalidates_email_format_of:email# alternative wayvalidates:email,:email=>trueend

By default, it rejects disposable e-mails (e.g. mailinator). This loads ~15kb, but you can disable this validation by setting disposable: true.

classUser < ActiveRecord::Basevalidates_email_format_of:email,disposable: trueend

validates_url_format_of

classUser < ActiveRecord::Basevalidates_url_format_of:site# validates TLD against list of valid TLD.# Loads ~5kb of text.validates_url_format_of:site,tld: trueend
