# MaskValidator

This gem was inspired in the Sobrinho's gems to validate simple things inside of ActiveModel.

Use mask in inputs and validate in the models.

The gem works getting the value before type cast and comparing with a regexp from the mask pattern.

## Installation

* a - Represents an alpha character (A-Z,a-z)
