Development

Source

Description

Consistently reliable email address validations are difficult to find and hard to choose as there are far too many implementations in various programming languages. This plugins builds on Thijs van der Vossen’s validates_as_email by adding advanced validation option support and also validating the length of the email address.

Usage

Example

  class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
    validates_as_email_address :email, :on => :create
  end

Testing

Before you can run any tests, the following gem must be installed:

To run against a specific version of Rails: 

  rake test RAILS_FRAMEWORK_ROOT=/path/to/rails

Dependencies

  • Rails 2.0 or later
