regular_validation

A collection of Regular Expressions to be used in Validations

Installation

Add regular_validation to your Gemfile

gem 'regular_validation', '~> 0.0.2'

Usage

Just use RegularValidation with the name of the Regular Expression in your app.

For example:

RegularValidation.username # Returns the Username Regular Expression
"some_user" =~ RegularValidation.username    # => 0
"1nvalid user" =~ RegularValidation.username # => nil

It's especially useful for ActiveModel Validations, however it isn't tied to Rails or any framework:

validates_format_of :username, with: RegularValidation.username

Currently supports the following validations:

username

TODO

  • Add more validations
  • Add options to validations for allowing/disallowing periods, underscores, etc.

Please fork and add your regular expression validations!

Testing

Clone the repository, run the bundle command, and then rake to run the MiniTest specs.
