Validation Disabler
===================

This plugin allows you to temporarily disable ActiveRecord validation 
by calling a class method. This is especially helpful in a test where 
you need to create a model without worrying about validation failing.

The validation will be disabled for all models no matter which class 
you call it on. Therefore, I recommend you call it on ActiveRecord::Base 
so there is no confusion.

I describe the implementation of this plugin in Railscasts episode #62:
http://railscasts.com/episodes/62


Example
=======

ActiveRecord::Base.disable_validation!

Item.create!(:name => 'Foo') # validation doesn't take place
ActiveRecord::Base.validation_disabled? # => true

ActiveRecord::Base.enable_validation!
