validates_numericality_of(*attr_names) public

Validates whether the value of the specified attribute is numeric by trying to convert it to a float with Kernel.Float (if integer is false) or applying it to the regular expression /\A[+\-]?\d+\Z/ (if integer is set to true).

  class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
    validates_numericality_of :value, :on => :create
  end

Configuration options:

  • message - A custom error message (default is: "is not a number")
  • on Specifies when this validation is active (default is :save, other options :create, :update)
  • only_integer Specifies whether the value has to be an integer, e.g. an integral value (default is false)

  • unless - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should not occur (e.g. :unless => :skip_validation, or :unless => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step <= 2 }). The method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
