Hi all A while ago I had a walk among some of the plugins/gem available to add reflection on validations and/or force constraints on the database to be forced on Active Record models. Since that moment I started thinking about a more declarative manner to manage and standardize the validations and to have the "validation rules" available in the views. I ended up writing something more generic than my initial idea, because I noticed soon I didn''t need just the validation information about my model but even some other extra which were related to the class. Today, I''m releasing Simple Descriptor v 0.1.0 (yes, it''s a early release). It''s a small piece of code that lets you add some chunk of informations to your class/models. The library doesn''t depend from rails gems, so maybe it can be interesting even outside of the rails world. The docs of the project can be found here http://simpledesc.rubyforge.org/docs/ They''re not complete, I may try to add some more in the future. I think what is provided now doesn''t give enough ideas about how you can use the library. For the moment you may want to take a look at the tests to see some more sample of usage. The rubyforge page of the project is http://rubyforge.org/projects/simpledesc/ The library is distributed as a gem. Any comment/contribution is very welcome.
