Question

The domain name is static so it will always be the same. Its not like a magic number that could so I need to right a regex or use something in rails that can validate that domain = “domain.com” or whatever I put there…

I have been playing with:

 validates_each :email |record, attr, value|
      record.errors.add attr 'bad domain' unless /ravennainteractive.com$/ =~ value
  end

that doesn’t work…

thanks so much for your help.

Edit 1/9/12

So after looking closer at the rails guides, I modified what I had with what Vivek said and here is what I am using:

validates_each :email do |record, attr, value|
       record.errors.add(attr, 'You must use an ravennainteractive.com email address') unless value =~ /ravennainteractive.com$/
   end

this is accepting invalid values: (from the log) “approvals_attributes”=>{“0″=>{“email”=>”[e-mail]”}}}, “commit”=>”Save”}

I should also note that this is validating on a nested form. This is a Recommendation#new form with a fields_for…

any other ideas?

Answer 1

I am not sure it this helps, but shouldn’t the value match the expression?

Shouldn’t it be unless value =~ /ravennainteractive.com$/ ?
