How to implement min/max validator in Rails 3?

Question

Check out the ActiveModel::Validations::NumericalityValidator: RailsAPI NumericalityValidator

spec:

it {
  subject.max_age = 10
  subject.min_age = 20
  subject.should be_invalid
  subject.errors[:min_age].should include("must be less than or equal to #{subject.max_age}")
}

code:

validates :min_age, numericality: { greater_than: 0, less_than_or_equal_to: :max_age }

validates :max_age, numericality: { less_than_or_equal_to: 100 }

I don't know if you want to validate presence or not, but you would just add that as another key to your validations, e.g.

validates :max_age, numericality: { less_than_or_equal_to: 100 }, presence: true

You can also use inclusion...in, as in:

validates :height, inclusion: { in: 1..3000, message: 'The height must be between 1 and 3000' }

validates_numericality_of :min_age, greater_than: 0
validates_numericality_of :max_age, less_than_or_equal_to: 100
validates_numericality_of :max_age, greater_than: :min_age

You can also use age, like this:

validates_numericality_of :age, less_than_or_equal_to: 100, greater_than: 0
