The above example performs a validation using the built-in validator “InclusionIn”. It checks the value of the field “type” in a domain list. If the value is not included in the method then the validator will fail and return false. The following built-in validators are available:
| Name | Explanation | Example |
|---|---|---|

| ExclusionIn | Validates that a value is not within a list of possible values | Example |
| InclusionIn | Validates that a value is within a list of possible values | Example |
| Numericality | Validates that a field has a numeric format | Example |
| Regex | Validates that the value of a field matches a regular expression | Example |
| Uniqueness | Validates that a field or a combination of a set of fields are not present more than once in the existing records of the related table | Example |
