Rails STI validation inheritance
- by KARASZI István
Dear Rails users!
I have STI models in my Rails application. The ancestor model has validations with the validates_... methods which are working fine.
But I have custom validations as well, and I would like to add more different custom validations in the descendants. These custom validations would depend on the class.
If I write
class DescendantA < Ancestor
protected
def validate
# ...
end
end
It simply overwrites the original validations. Is there a convention to do this in Rails?
