Dr Nic''s Magic Models 0.8 - Validate Anything, Anytime, Anywhere
[Cross-posted at http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/4] In the first run of the sell-out Magic Models - "I can''t believe its an ActiveRecord" - Super Show - you were amazed as we stripped away the necessary essentials of an ActiveRecord - right in front of your eyes - the necessary became unnecessary. We removed the validates_presence_of validations... and the Magic Model still validated. We removed the has_many, belongs_to, and has_many :through associations... and the Magic Model still associated. We removed the actual class definition itself - the very thing that provides the ActiveRecord CRUD layer... and the Magic Model still CRUDded. In the new Magic Models, Virtual Validations get Virtuous!>> g = Group.new >> g.name = "x" * 51=> "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx">> g.valid?=> false>> g.errors.full_messages=> ["Name is too long (maximum is 50 characters)"] All this and more in 0.8.0 of Dr Nic''s Magic Models http://drnicwilliams.com/2006/09/21/dr-nic-magic-models-validate-anything-anytime-anywhere/ Its magic like this that makes programming fun :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
