ActiveRecord validation without saving?

Rails

Is it possible to validate form without having to run save() or
update_attributes() on it so that in case all validations pass there’s
nothing written to the database?

Cheers,
Petr

use the valid? method

http://www.railsmanual.org/module/ActiveRecord%3A%3AValidations/valid%
3F/1.2.1

yes - it looks like railsmanuals’ urls are a bit long.

but, please use your imagination and put the two strings together:

http://www.railsmanual.org/module/ActiveRecord%3A%3AValidations/valid
%

and

3F/1.2.1

or better yet, go to the website and search for valid?
