Instance Method Details

#specification(name, &block) ⇒ Object

This method allows you to build ActiveSpec specifications using a DSL-like syntax. Pass in a name for your specification (without the _specification suffix which will be added automatically) and a block which contains your individual specifications.

The ActiveSpec::Context module gets included automatically when the ActiveSpec library is required, so the specification method is available in the global namespace.

Example usage:

specification :user do
  should_require_presence_of     :username, :password
  should_require_confirmation_of :password
end

The above code will create a UserSpecification class (a sub-class of ActiveSpec::Base) with the given specifications.
