== DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The time and date validation has always been a problem in Rails. To do it
|
|
properly you need to fiddle with the Rails internals a fair bit. Where once
|
|
there may have been hope of including more support for this validation in Rails,
|
|
since the release of Rails 2.1 those hopes were dashed as it has become an order
|
|
of magnitude harder due the excellent additions of the improved timezone handling
|
|
and dirty attributes.
|
|
|
|
This plugin allows the validation of dates and times in Rails 2.0.x and above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS
|
|
|
|
* Adds ActiveRecord validation for dates and times
|
|
|
|
* Adds better traceability of dates and times entered with the use the
|
|
before_type_cast for date and time columns to look at the original value
|
|
entered before type casting.
|
|
|
|
* Allows pluggable date and time parsing with other parsers of your choosing (eg Chronic)
|
|
|
|
== INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
./script/plugin http://github.com/adzap/validates_timeliness
|
|
|
|
|
|
== USAGE
|
|
|
|
To validate a model with a date or datetime attribute you just use the validation
|
|
method
|
|
|
|
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
validates_timeliness_of :date_of_birth
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
The default valid formats for a date or datetime field are those supported by
|
|
the Ruby ParseDate library (http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/lib_standard.html#ParseDate.parsedate).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The validation method has the usual options plus some specific ones to restrict
|
|
the valid range
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
- allow_nil
|
|
- allow_blank
|
|
- before
|
|
- on_or_before
|
|
- after
|
|
- on_or_after
|
|
- type
