Another validation question

Rails
1

Hi. Are there any validation methods which can prevent users from
entering certain words in a field (eg swearing etc)
Thanks

That would be easy I think.
Just create a blacklist and match against that. If you find a match
add some error to the object.
Something along these lines:

before_save :catch_swears
BLACKLIST = %(some bad words)

private
def catch_swears
errors.add(“Dont swear plz”) if BLACKLIST.any?(|swear_word|
self.text_field =~ swear_word)
end
