+# ValidationSkipper
+
+Every once in a while, it may be necessary to skip some validations.
+
+For example, you may have a user model that validates name, email, password, etc., but you may want to present a view where the end-user can update his/her name in one screen, but change the password on another screen.
+
+If the model is validating across all the attributes, you'll need a way around this.
+
+This gem will help you easily declare which attributes to skip and when to skip them.
+
+**WARNING:** Skipping validations is not considered best practice (albeit sometimes it is necessary), so skip them at your own risk!
+
+## Installation
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+
+    gem 'validation_skipper'
+
+And then execute:
+
+    $ bundle
+
+Or install it yourself as:
+
+    $ gem install validation_skipper
+
+## Usage
+
+### In your model:
+
+Let's say you have a User model with a name, phone, and password.
+
+##### In your code, you might have validations like these:
+
+    validates :name, :presence => true
+    validates :phone, :presence => true
+    validates :password, :presence => true
+
+##### Step 1: Declare which validations are allowed to be skipped:
+
+    can_skip_validation_for :name, :phone, :password
+
+(Note: this does not automatically skip them, but makes them eligible for skipping)
+
+
+##### Step 2: Change the validations to look like these:
+
+    validates :name, :presence => true, :unless => skip_name_validation?
+    validates :phone, :presence => true, :unless => skip_phone_validation?
+    validates :password, :presence => true, :unless => skip_pasword_validation?
+
+(Basically just add `:unless => skip_<name of your attribute>_validation?` to each of your validation methods)
+
+### In your controller:
+
+Now just pass the names of the fields you want to skip validation for from within your controller, ex:
+
+    def create
+      @user = User.new(params[:user])
+      @user.skip_validation_for :name, :phone
+      Etc...
+    end
+
+This will now skip the validations for name and phone only, but still validate for password.
+
+And there you go, anytime you want the same effect elsewhere, just follow this approach.
+
+Enjoy!
