This gem adds the capability of validating URLs to ActiveRecord and ActiveModel.
Add this to your Gemfile
:
gem "validate_url"
Or install it yourself:
sudo gem install validate_url
class Pony < ActiveRecord::Base
# standard validation
validates :homepage, url: true
# with allow_nil
validates :homepage, url: { allow_nil: true }
# with allow_blank
validates :homepage, url: { allow_blank: true }
# without local hostnames
validates :homepage, url: { no_local: true }
# with custom schemes
validates :homepage, url: { schemes: ['https'] }
# with public suffix database https://publicsuffix.org/
validates :homepage, url: { public_suffix: true }
# with Postgres array of urls, described [here](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_postgresql.html#array)
validates :homepage, url: { accept_array: true }
end
class Unicorn
include ActiveModel::Validations
attr_accessor :homepage
# with legacy syntax (the syntax above works also)
validates_url :homepage, allow_blank: true
end
Require the matcher in spec_helper.rb
or rails_helper.rb
:
require 'validate_url/rspec_matcher'
In your spec:
RSpec.describe Unicorn
it { is_expected.to validate_url_of(:homepage) }
end
The default error message is not a valid URL
.
You can pass the message: "my custom error"
option to your validation to define your own, custom message.
