chrisdarroch / form_helper.rb

Created July 17, 2010 01:20

	# Determines if a particular ActiveRecord model or form object has errors on it.
	# The method returns:
	# - false if the object doesn't respond to #errors
	# - true if the array of errors on the object is not empty
	# - false in all other cases.
	#
	# You can optionally scope the check to look for specific errors.
	# - In the case of a symbol, it will return a subset of errors as returned by the ActiveRecord::Errors#on(model) method
	# - In the case of a String or Regexp, The errors array will be reduced by selecting only those who have keys containing the specified string/regexp to match.
