Hi, I couldn''t find any plugins that sanitized string input. I''m not sure if searched for the wrong term, I searched for ''sanitize'' and ''normalize''. Maybe there is a better name for what I''m trying to do. But I basically want to run a few operations on string fields before they are validated/saved to the db. Something declarative like: class Model < ActiveRecord::Base sanitizes :attribute, :truncate => { :length => 20 }, :downcase => true, :strip => true end I know I can do this pretty easily with callbacks but I wanted something more declarative since I have a lot of these statements to write. But I am looking for a plugin that does something similar to the above. Anyone know of any?
