Sounds like something you can do with ActiveRecord validations: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Validations/ClassMethods.html
for example: validates_numericality_of :some_numer validates_length_of :something_else, :in => 3..12 You can use validate_format_of :a_date (and specify a regex), or there's a plugin that helps for this (i haven't tried it: http://railslodge.com/plugins/111-validates-date-time) etc... is that what you're looking for?
