  # == Active Model Validator
  #
  # A simple base class that can be used along with
  # ActiveModel::Validations::ClassMethods.validates_with
  #
  #   class Person
  #     include ActiveModel::Validations
  #     validates_with MyValidator
  #   end
  #
  #   class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
  #     def validate(record)
  #       if some_complex_logic
  #         record.errors[:base] = "This record is invalid"
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  #     private
  #       def some_complex_logic
  #         # ...
  #       end
  #   end
  #
  # Any class that inherits from ActiveModel::Validator must implement a method
  # called <tt>validate</tt> which accepts a <tt>record</tt>.
  #
  #   class Person
  #     include ActiveModel::Validations
  #     validates_with MyValidator
  #   end
  #
  #   class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
  #     def validate(record)
  #       record # => The person instance being validated
  #       options # => Any non-standard options passed to validates_with
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # To cause a validation error, you must add to the <tt>record</tt>'s errors directly
  # from within the validators message
  #
  #   class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
  #     def validate(record)
  #       record.errors.add :base, "This is some custom error message"
  #       record.errors.add :first_name, "This is some complex validation"
  #       # etc...
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # To add behavior to the initialize method, use the following signature:
  #
  #   class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
  #     def initialize(options)
  #       super
  #       @my_custom_field = options[:field_name] || :first_name
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # The easiest way to add custom validators for validating individual attributes
  # is with the convenient <tt>ActiveModel::EachValidator</tt>. For example:
  #
  #   class TitleValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
  #     def validate_each(record, attribute, value)
  #       record.errors.add attribute, 'must be Mr. Mrs. or Dr.' unless value.in?(['Mr.', 'Mrs.', 'Dr.'])
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # This can now be used in combination with the +validates+ method
  # (see <tt>ActiveModel::Validations::ClassMethods.validates</tt> for more on this)
  #
  #   class Person
  #     include ActiveModel::Validations
  #     attr_accessor :title
  #
  #     validates :title, :presence => true
  #   end
  #
  # Validator may also define a +setup+ instance method which will get called
  # with the class that using that validator as its argument. This can be
  # useful when there are prerequisites such as an +attr_accessor+ being present
  # for example:
  #
  #   class MyValidator < ActiveModel::Validator
  #     def setup(klass)
  #       klass.send :attr_accessor, :custom_attribute
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # This setup method is only called when used with validation macros or the
  # class level <tt>validates_with</tt> method.
  #
  class Validator
    attr_reader :options

    # Returns the kind of the validator. Examples:
    #
    #   PresenceValidator.kind   # => :presence
    #   UniquenessValidator.kind # => :uniqueness

    def self.kind
      @kind ||= name.split('::').last.underscore.sub(/_validator$/, '').to_sym unless anonymous?

  # in the options hash invoking the <tt>validate_each</tt> method passing in the

    # that the arguments supplied are valid. You could for example raise an
    # +ArgumentError+ when invalid options are supplied.

  # +BlockValidator+ is a special +EachValidator+ which receives a block on initialization
  # and call this block for each attribute being validated. +validates_each+ uses this validator.
