h2. About

This gem adds a very simple email address format validator to be used with ActiveRecord models in Rails 3.0. It supports localized error messages.

h2. Installation

Add the gem to your project's @Gemfile@:

<pre><code>
gem 'email_validation'
</code></pre>

h2. Usage

This gem is an @EachValidator@, and thus is used with the @validates@ method:

<pre><code>
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates :email_address,
            presence: true,
			email: true
end
</code></pre>

The localization key is @invalid_email@, and can be specified in the localized YAML file like so:

<pre><code>
en:
  activerecord:
	errors:
	  messages:
	    invalid_email: Email address is invalid.
</code></pre>
