acts_as_parameter_object

testing ruby: 1.9.3, 2.0.0

ActsAsParameterObject creates a model which acts as a Parameter Object. cf. Refactoring: Ruby Edition.

class ParameterObjectExample
  include ActsAsParameterObject

  attr_accessor :title
  validates_presence_of :title

  def initialize(params = {})
    @title = params[:title]
  end
end

ParameterObjectExample.new(:foo => 'bar').valid? #=> false

You can use all of ActiveModel::Validations methods.

I use a parameter object as a validator model for params coming from rails controller. In contrast to ActiveRecord, this model does not access to the database.
