Hi folks,
I just released my first gem. It's a validation framework that targets an easy way of creating validations and reuse them in any ruby project that needs to validate any kind of values.
It's syntax is close to the ActiveRecord and Assistance validations with some enhancements.
http://rubyforge.org/projects/not-naughty
== Features
* Easy to extend
* Easy to adapt (provides an adapter/plugin for sequel models)
class MyClass
extend NotNaughty
validated_before :clone
# *snip*
end
class MyModel < Sequel::Model
is :not_naughty
end
* Supports inheritance
* Validator can handle object states
* Supports chained conditions for validations
* Comes with default validations for presence, length, ...
* Magic builder methods that take global attributes and conditions
validates(:attribute1, :attribute2) {
confirmation and presence :if => [:true?, :really_true?]
}
validates {
confirmation_of :attribute1, :attribute2
presence_of :attribute1, :attribute2, :if => [:true?, :really_true?]
}
validates(:if => [:true?, :really_true?]) {
presence_of :attribute1, :attribute2
}
They just drop in if you inherit from NotNaughty::Validation.
* Error messages are eval'ed (not glued) which gives you more control
* Lots of examples in the specs and documentation
== Installation
sudo gem install not_naughty
== ToDo
Awaiting feature requests...
Cheers
