Format and validate a URL attribute in Active Record. This is an example gem created and based on RailsCasts episode #301.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'format_url'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install format_url
Call format_url
in an ActiveRecord class and pass the name of the attribute you wish to format into a URL and validate.
class MyClass < ActiveRecord::Base
format_url :website
end
This will automatically add "http://" to the beginning of the website
attribute upon saving if no protocol is present. It will also do validation to ensure it looks like a URL.
