Hi,
I have a user model that saves password_salt and password_hash in DB,
there is no password attribute. I would like to validate the password
complexity with regular expression, but because password is not an
attribute validation always fails. How can I accomplish this
validation using the validation framework?
Thanks.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_format_of :password,
:with => /^.(?=.{6,})(?=.\d)(?=.[a-z])(?=.[A-Z]).*$/
def password=(pass)
salt = [Array.new(6){rand(256).chr}.join].pack(“m”).chomp
self.password_salt, self.password_hash =
salt, Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(pass + salt)
end
def password
end
end
