# Ant Mapper classes can implement validations in several ways. The highest level, easiest to read,
# and recommended approach is to use the declarative validates_..._of class methods (and
# +validates_associated+) documented below. These are sufficient for most model validations.
#
# Slightly lower level is +validates_each+. It provides some of the same options as the purely declarative
# validation methods, but like all the lower-level approaches it requires manually adding to the errors collection
# when the record is invalid.
#
# At a yet lower level, a model can use the class methods +validate+, +validate_on_create+ and +validate_on_update+
# to add validation methods or blocks. These are AntSupport::Callbacks and follow the same rules of inheritance
# and chaining.
#
# The lowest level style is to define the instance methods +validate+, +validate_on_create+ and +validate_on_update+
# as documented in AntObject::Validations.
#
# == +validate+, +validate_on_create+ and +validate_on_update+ Class Methods
#
# Calls to these methods add a validation method or block to the class. Again, this approach is recommended
# only when the higher-level methods documented below (validates_..._of and +validates_associated+) are
# insufficient to handle the required validation.
#
# This can be done with a symbol pointing to a method:
#
# class Comment < ActiveObject::Base
# validate :must_be_friends
#
# def must_be_friends
# errors.add_to_base("Must be friends to leave a comment") unless commenter.friend_of?(commentee)
# end
# end
#
# Or with a block which is passed the current record to be validated:
#
# class Comment < ActiveObject::Base
# validate do |comment|
# comment.must_be_friends
# end
#
# def must_be_friends
# errors.add_to_base("Must be friends to leave a comment") unless commenter.friend_of?(commentee)
# end
# end
#
# This usage applies to +validate_on_create+ and +validate_on_update+ as well.
