Re: How to dynamically create validation rules

You could also setup up the framework of your validation rule in the
model itself. Then you can update the details in the controller as
Alan suggested. This could help in making sure the rule will fail by
default just in case your api doesn't actually change the rule
accordingly. Also, that way you won't necessarily need to update the
whole rule but rather just parts (ie just the message or the rule)
