Hey all!
Hope you're having a good weekend.
I have a couple of models that share a lot of similar validation so I
figured this would be a good opportunity to DRY my code up.
lets say for example:
class Squirrel < ActiveRecode::Base
validates_presence_of :name
end
class Badger < ActiveRecode::Base
validates_presence_of :name
end
what I've been trying to do is add a module in /lib called
CommonValidations
module CommonValidations
def included(base)
base.class_eval do
validates_presence_of :name
end
end
end
and then include this module in the models that require it. I've also
tried various combinations with 'eval' and 'send' etc.
The validations aren't called :(
Can anyone explain why this isn't working and if it's possbile to re-
use validations like this?
Thanks
Gavin
