Description¶ ↑

Consistently reliable email address validations are difficult to find and hard to choose as there are far too many implementations in various programming languages. This plugins builds on Thijs van der Vossen’s validates_as_email by adding advanced validation option support and also validating the length of the email address.

Usage¶ ↑

Example¶ ↑

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates_as_email_address :email, :on => :create
end

• plugin_test_helper

To run against a specific version of Rails:

rake test RAILS_FRAMEWORK_ROOT=/path/to/rails

Dependencies¶ ↑

• Rails 2.0 or later
