Defined in:
lib/telegram_validator.rb

Overview

Validates Telegram usernames. Telegram usernames are 5-32 characters of alphanumerics and underscores; they must start with a letter and cannot end with an underscore. Username lookups are case-insensitive. A leading ‘@` is stripped before validation.

The following error message keys are used to localize invalid usernames:

| | | |:——————————-|:——————————————————| | ‘telegram_too_short` | Username is less than 5 characters. | | `telegram_too_long` | Username is over 32 characters. | | `telegram_invalid_chars` | Username contains characters outside `[A-Za-z0-9_]`. | | `telegram_invalid_first_char` | Username doesn’t start with a letter. | | ‘telegram_trailing_underscore` | Username ends with an underscore. |

Options

| | | |:————-|:————————————————-| | ‘:message` | A custom message to use if the username is invalid. | | `:allow_nil` | If true, `nil` values are allowed. |

Examples:

validates :telegram, telegram: true
