There is no validation_context methods in API. But the instance has them: validation_context validation_context=

What are these methods? What do they do? Where to get info about them?

-- Pagarbiai, Gintautas

I want to validate data from a form - an email string and a password string. The Rails do not have special validator classes for the common use cases (emails, digits, ip's, etc), (please correct me if I'm wrong but I couldn't find any).

But there are some validators in ActiveModel and I'm trying to understand what they offer and whether I can use them.

I do not use Rails ActiveRecord (--skip-active-record) and yet didn't created any models. I'm just testing POST requests, receiving password and email in my "create" action method. And want to validate them. Is it possible with the validators Rails offer?

You could use this gem to validate email addresses: https://github.com/alexdunae/validates_email_format_of You should be able to use it without needing AR, as well.
