adzap/validates_timeliness

ValidatesTimeliness is a Ruby gem that provides robust date, time, and datetime validation for Rails applications. It integrates with the ActiveModel type system to handle parsing, type casting, and timezone awareness, while offering extensions for form helpers and multiparameter attribute handling. The library supports both ActiveRecord and standalone ActiveModel contexts, allowing developers to enforce temporal constraints with customizable error messages and configuration options.

The autotest/discover.rb file has been removed, eliminating the automatic discovery configuration that previously linked the autotest tool to RSpec2. This change reflects the project's shift away from using autotest for test execution.

The DateTimeSelect extension now intercepts form helpers to reuse raw parameter values, ensuring that invalid date and time inputs are redisplayed to the user for correction rather than appearing as blanks. Additionally, the multiparameter handler has been updated to integrate with ActiveModel type classes (Date, Time, DateTime), allowing these types to correctly process and validate multiparameter assignments while maintaining backward compatibility.

The ValidatesTimeliness install generator has been updated to copy default configuration files directly into the application during installation. Specifically, it now generates a local initializer at config/initializers/validates\_timeliness.rb and a locale file at config/locales/validates\_timeliness.en.yml, allowing users to customize these settings locally rather than relying on the gem's internal defaults.

The installation process has been updated to generate a local \validates\_timeliness.rb\ configuration file in the application directory rather than loading a shared default. This new template includes commented-out options for extending ORMs (defaulting to Active Record), setting timezones, enabling date/time select extensions, handling multiparameter values, and configuring the parser, allowing users to customize behavior directly in their own codebase. The English locale file has also been moved into the generator templates directory to support this new installation structure.

The library now delegates core parsing and configuration to the external 'timeliness' gem, replacing the previous internal conversion module. Users can now configure whether to extend specific ORMs (like Active Record) via a new \extend\_orms\ setting and a \setup\ block, rather than having extensions applied automatically. The change also introduces configuration options for ignoring restriction errors, using shorthand symbols for date/time restrictions, and selecting between the default or plugin-based date parsers.

The ActiveRecord extension now uses an ActiveSupport on\_load hook to include validation modules, ensuring proper initialization timing, and provides a specific implementation for reading attribute values before type casting via read\_attribute\_before\_type\_cast. A new ActiveModel ORM module was added to support validations without ActiveRecord, implementing read\_timeliness\_attribute\_before\_type\_cast using the @attributes hash. These changes replace previous method override logic with a cleaner, hook-based approach that improves compatibility and reduces thread-safety issues.

This release updates the gem to support Rails 8.x, as indicated by the new Appraisals configuration for rails 8.0.0 and the CHANGELOG entry for version 8.0.0. The build infrastructure has been modernized by switching from manual Rake tasks to Bundler gem helper tasks and the Appraisal gem for managing multi-version testing. Additionally, the test suite configuration has been updated to use the 'documentation' format and the 'debug' gem instead of 'byebug'.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The validates\_timeliness gem has been upgraded to version 8.0.0, introducing a significant architectural shift by integrating with the ActiveModel type system. This change replaces the previous conversion module with new \AttributeMethods\ that prepend to \ActiveModel::Type::Date\, \Time\, and \DateTime\ to handle parsing and timezone awareness more robustly. The validator now utilizes a dedicated \Converter\ class for type casting and parsing, supports the \validates\_timeliness\_of\ helper, and improves handling of restriction errors and error message formatting. This update ensures better compatibility with modern Rails versions and ActiveModel validations.

Added and updated test coverage for validates\_timeliness; Added and updated tests for validator options; Added test coverage for ActiveRecord validation and attribute parsing; Added test coverage for DateTimeSelect and Multiparameter extensions; Migrate test suite to RSpec 3 and modernize test infrastructure; New spec support helpers for configuration, model validation, and HTML matching.

A new gemfile (gemfiles/rails\_8\_0.gemfile) has been added to support testing against Rails 8.0. This file pins Rails to version 8.0.0, updates rspec-rails to version 6.0, sets sqlite3 to version 2.0, and replaces the byebug gem with the debug gem, aligning the development environment with the upcoming Rails 8 release requirements.

gemfiles · high confidence

The gem now requires ActiveModel 8.0+ and Rails 8.0+, dropping support for older Rails versions. Development dependencies have been updated to use modern versions of RSpec (6.0), SQLite3 (2.0), and the debug gem, replacing legacy tools like ruby-debug and timecop. The gemspec has been standardized to use the gemspec file for dependency management, and the source URL has been updated to HTTPS.
