Validators are provided for the most common IM services, like AIM, Yahoo! IM,
and Skype.
Important Note: This gem is for Rails+ 3 only.
To install, simply add this gem to your Rails project's @Gemfile@:
gem "validates_im"The IM validators are EachValidators, meant to be used with the validates
method. An example:
validates :screen_name,
aim: true,
presence: trueThe name of the symbol key is taken from the name of the validator; as such, The
XboxLiveValidator would be invoked using :xbox_live. See the
{AccountNameValidator} class docs for more information.
The localization keys for validation errors are listed in the documentation for each validator class.
