Validus

Add validation support to Plain Old Ruby Objects.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'validus'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install validus

Usage

Include this module in a target class and override the validate method. Use valid? to perform the validation.

Example:

require "validus"

class Person
  include Validus

  attr_accessor :name, :age

  def initialize
    @name = ''
    @age  = 0
  end

  def validate
    errors.add(:name, 'cannot be blank') if name == ''
    errors.add(:age, 'must be greater than 0') if age <= 0
  end
end

person = Person.new
person.valid?                    # => false
person.errors.for(:name).to_a    # => ['cannot be blank']
person.errors.full_messages.to_a # => ['name cannot be blank', 'age must be greater than 0']

person.name = 'John'
person.age  = 20

person.valid?        # => true
person.errors.empty? # => true
