# ActiveModel::ErrorMessagesWithoutAttributes

Extends ActiveModel::Errors to allow messages to be generated that do not use

the attribute name.  Sometimes, you just want to use a custom error message

without jumping through a lot of rails hoops.  With this gem, you specify

an error message of '^Just use this error' and the attribute name will not be

included in full_error messages for that attribute.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby

gem 'activemodel-error_messages_without_attributes'

```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install activemodel-error_messages_without_attributes

## Usage

```ruby

  class User < ActiveRecord::Base

    validates :first_name,

      :presence => {:message => 'cannot be blank.'},

      :length => {:maximum => 64, :message => '^What are you thinking?'}

    validates :last_name, :presence => true

  end

```

### Error messages work the same as the defaults

```ruby

  user_without_name = User.new

  user_without_name.valid?

  user_without_name.errors.full_messages_for(:first_name)

  # ["First name cannot be blank."]

  user_without_name.errors.full_messages_for(:first_name)

  # ["Last name can't be blank"]

```

### Error messages starting with ^ do not include the attribute

```

  user_with_too_long_a_name = User.new('a'*65)

  user_with_too_long_a_name.valid?

  user_with_too_long_a_name.full_messages_for(:first_name)

  # ["What are you thinking?"]

```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run

`rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive

prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To

release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run

`bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push

git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
