validates vs validates..._of ...

[mathiasuhl]

Hi, who did decide that validates with params is better then ie. validates_presence_of and why? I think its less readable and more complex to comprehend.

Because is more readable and you can put than 1 validation. And is more ruby style. Example:

validates :tag, presence: true, in: %w(best done wonderful)
