User Contributed Rules

###Please feel free to contribute your own Custom Rules!###

####Example Rule####

####Requires one of more (in array)####

/*
 * This rules checks the given array of objects/observables and returns 
 * true if at least one of the elements validates agains the the default
 * 'required' rules
 * 
 * Example:
 * 
 *
 * self.mobilePhone.extend({ requiresOneOf: [self.homePhone, self.mobilePhone] });
 * self.homePhone.extend({ requiresOneOf: [self.homePhone, self.mobilePhone] }); 
 *

####Change Limit Rule####

/**
 * Limits the maximum amount a numeric value can be changed.
 * Parameters: maxChange: <The max valid value change from base value>,
 *             baseValueAccessor: <A function to access the base value>
 * 
 * Example: 'Distance can change a maximum of 10'
 * var initDistance = 5;
 * this.distance.extend({
 *     changeLimit:{
 *         maxChange:10,
 *         baseValueAccessor:function () {

####Valid Array####

####Credit Card####

//The card type field must return 'vc' for visa, 'mc' for mastercard, 'ae' for amex
//This is based on code from here: http://www.rahulsingla.com/blog/2011/08/javascript-implementing-mod-10-validation-(luhn-formula)-for-credit-card-numbers
//Example:
//
//self.cardNumber.extend({ creditCard: self.cardType });

####isUnique####

/* Validates that all values in an array are unique. 
To initialize the simple validator provide an array to compare against. 
By default this will simply compare do an exactly equal (===) operation against each element in the supplied array.
For a little more control, initialize the validator with an object instead. The object should contain two properties: array and predicate. 
The predicate option enables you to provide a function to define equality. The array option can be observable. */
