baldwindavid / dependent_presence_validator.rb
Created February 27, 2013 19:19
A validator that checks the presence of other related fields that should be present. It would probably always be used in conjunction with :allow_blank => true.
class DependentPresenceValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
def validate_each(record, attribute, value)
dependents = [options[:dependents]].flatten
dependents.each do |dependent|
unless record.send(dependent).present?
record.errors.add dependent, "must not be blank when #{attribute.to_s.humanize} is present."
end
