Does ruby on rails have client side validation lik

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Javascript validation using activerecord models validators 3 answers

In ASP.NET MVC you can setup client side validations with the data annotations model which is similar to validations in ruby on rails. However there are unobtrusive javascript hooks created that will automatically wire up client side validations on forms. Is there anything like this for Ruby on Rails?

Answer 1

You can try my ClientSideValidations gem: https://github.com/bcardarella/client_side_validations

And there is Railscast about it: http://railscasts.com/episodes/263-client-side-validations

Answer 2

I was wondering this just the other day, and I found this awesome blog post about it!
