How to Ride the Rails to Babylonia

Feels like babylonia, validates like rails: You can use all rails validators except confirmation. Just add the validation options under :locales in the validation as you would normally do.

class BabylonianFields < ActiveRecord::Base
  build_babylonian_tower_on :grass, :sand, :sea

  validates :grass, locales: { presence: [:en, :de, :it], length: { in: 6..20 }}
  validates :sand, locales: { absence: [:en, :it], format: { with: /some nifty regexp/ }}
end

You can add a :locales option to each validation to determine which locales get validated with the said validator

class BabylonianFields < ActiveRecord::Base
  build_babylonian_tower_on :grass, :sand, :sea

  validates :grass, locales: { presence: [:en, :de, :it], length: { in: 6..20, locales: [:it] }}
  validates :sand, locales: { absence: [:en, :it], uniqueness: { scope: :some_scope, locales: [:de, :en] }}
end

Yes, there’s also uniqueness validation. It works with a LIKE / arel.matches query.

Please be aware that validations will only validate available locales!

What About Forms?

form_for(@babylonian_field, url: {action: 'create'}) do |f|
  f.text_field :grass_en
  f.text_field :grass_de
  f.text_field :grass_it
  f.submit "Create"
end

What about dynamic Finders?

Uhhm, no. Arel itself is pretty nifty, so if you want to find something by SQL, you will.
