Has_many relationship - specify how quantity (how many)

Rails
1

Hi,

Is there any way to specify a a validation rule or something for the
"has_many’ relationship so that it would count the related objects?

For e.g. I want my Foo object to have maximum of 5 Bar objects in
has_many relationship.

I suppose you could write a custom validator to ensure that no more than
5
child objects exist.
