#validates_with_block(*fields, &block) ⇒ Object

Validate using the given block. The block given needs to return:

result::<Boolean>, Error Message::<String>

Usage 
require 'dm-validations'

class Page
  include DataMapper::Resource

  property :zip_code, String

  validates_with_block do
    if @zip_code == "94301"
      true
    else
      [false, "You're in the wrong zip code"]
    end
  end

  # A call to valid? will return false and
  # populate the object's errors with "You're in the
  # wrong zip code" unless zip_code == "94301"

  # You can also specify field:

  validates_with_block :zip_code do
    if @zip_code == "94301"
      true
    else
      [false, "You're in the wrong zip code"]
    end
  end

  # it will add returned error message to :zip_code field
