def check_validity!
end

#validate(record) ⇒ Object

Performs validation on the supplied record. By default this will call validates_each to determine validity therefore subclasses should override validates_each with validation logic.

def validate(record)
  attributes.each do |attribute|
    value = record.read_attribute_for_validation(attribute)
    next if (value.nil? && options[:allow_nil]) || (value.blank? && options[:allow_blank])
    validate_each(record, attribute, value)
  end
end

#validate_each(record, attribute, value) ⇒ Object

Override this method in subclasses with the validation logic, adding errors to the records errors array where necessary.
