A tiny Rails plugin that lets you use block syntax to specify multiple validations for a given field:
class Person < AR::Base
validates_presence_of :name
validates_field :bio do |of|
of.presence :on => :update
of.length :on => :update, :maximum => 140
end
# The above block is functionally identical to writing:
validates_presence_of :bio, :on => :update
validates_length_of :bio, :on => :update, :maximum => 140
end
Available now* here: http://github.com/kylebragger/validation_clusters
*Caveat: I haven’t gotten around to writing any tests for the plugin, as all testing was done before I extracted the code out of the application I originally wrote it for (and tested it within). But, you should write your own and submit them!
