## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'louche'
```
## Usage
Louche provides a few validators to use in your ActiveModel/ActiveRecord classes. You can use all validators with a lowercase
symbolized version of their prefix as the key and `true` as the value. For example, for `EmailValidator`:
```ruby
class User < ApplicationRecord
validates :email, email: true
end
```
Optionally, if you wish to customize the default options, you can pass a hash as the value:
```ruby
class User < ApplicationRecord
validates :email, email: { regex: /^.*@.*$/, message: :blank }
end
```
Here are the validators that Louche provides along with their respective options:
### `EmailValidator`
#### Example
```ruby
class User < ApplicationRecord
validates :email, email: true
end
User.new(email: 'foo@example.com').valid? # => true
User.new(email: 'foo@example').valid? # => false
```
#### Options
| Option | Description
|------------|-----------------------------------------------------
| `:regex` | The regex used to validate the email (default: `/\A([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})\z/i`)
| `:message` | The ActiveRecord message added to the record errors (default: `:invalid_email`)
### `URLValidator`
#### Example
```ruby
class User < ApplicationRecord
validates :website, url: true
end
User.new(website: 'http://example.com').valid? # => true
User.new(website: 'example.$$$').valid? # => false
```
#### Options

| `:message` | The ActiveRecord message added to the record errors (default: `:invalid_url`)
### `PhoneNumberValidator`
#### Example
```ruby
class User < ApplicationRecord
validates :phone_number, phone_number: true
end
user = User.new(phone_number: '514 555-2525')
user.valid? # => true
user.phone_number # => '5145552525'
user = User.new(phone_number: '555-2525')
user.valid? # => false
user.phone_number # '5552525'
```
#### Options

| `:message` | The ActiveRecord message added to the record errors (default: `:invalid_phone_number`)
### `PostalCodeValidator`
#### Example
```ruby
class User < ApplicationRecord
validates :postal_code, postal_code: true
end
user = User.new(postal_code: 'G0R 2T0')
user.valid? # => true
user.postal_code # => 'G0R2T0'

user.valid? # => false
user.postal_code # => 'L0L'
```
#### Options

| `:message` | The ActiveRecord message added to the record errors (default: `:invalid_postal_code`)
### `ArrayValidator`
#### Example
```ruby
class Tag < Struct.new(:name)
def valid?
name.present?
end
end
class User < ApplicationRecord
validates :tags, array: true
def tags=(tags)
super tags.map { |tag| Tag.new(tag) }
end
end
User.new(tags: ['food', 'beer', 'code']).valid? # => true
User.new(tags: ['food', '', 'code']).valid? # => false

## Localized error messages
Louche uses standard ActiveRecord messages. Here’s what your
`config/locales/activerecord.en.yml` file could look like:
```yaml
en:
errors:
messages:
invalid_email: is not a valid email address
invalid_url: is not a valid URL
invalid_phone_number: is not a valid phone number
invalid_postal_code: is not a valid postal code
invalid_array: contains invalid items
invalid_rgb_hex: is not a valid color
```
