Option :case_sensitive for validates_exclusion_of
Reported by awendt | December 3rd, 2008 @ 08:29 AM | in 2.x
Wherever you look, the example for uses of validates_exclusion_of is to reserve usernames. I recently found out that validates_exclusion_of is case sensitive: Why, however, would I want to exclude "admin" if users can still sign up as "Admin"?
I've developed on a patch that introduces a :case_sensitive option to validates_exclusion_of -- so that I am not forced to using validates_each just because I want to prevent users to sign up as "admin" in upper or lower case.
I will also push the patch to github.com/awendt/rails

Please bear with me, I noticed I've attached the reverse patch. Here is the correct one.

You should just use validates_format_of and a regular expression.
Thanks.

I think that a case sensitive option make sense also.
But it should be also included in validate_inclusion_of. Maybe post this in the Rails group and try to get a couple more +1.
