Default ActiveModel::Errors are great, but i am solving problem, that the messages are anonymous. For example there is message should look like an email address. that belongs to email field, but what i want is to know that this error message is format type. And the other message doesn't match confirmation is confirmation type.

#<ActiveModel::Errors:0x000001054abef0 @base=#<User ... >, 
    @messages={
        :password=>["doesn't match confirmation"], 
        :email=>["should look like an email address."]}>

Is there any gem for better errors, or do any of you have idea of monkey patch?

Thanks

In rails validations, you can add custom messages to be passed up the exception food chain, generated from the model.

  • I know that :) But it is not exactly what I want. I want to recognize in Error object which message belongs to which type of validation and use it for example with javascripts validations. – Schovi Jul 26 '11 at 13:46
