### `validates_associated`
You should use this helper when your model has associations with other models
and they also need to be validated. When you try to save your object, `valid?`
will be called upon each one of the associated objects.
```ruby
class Library < ApplicationRecord
has_many :books
validates_associated :books
end
```
This validation will work with all of the association types.
CAUTION: Don't use `validates_associated` on both ends of your associations.
They would call each other in an infinite loop.
The default error message for [`validates_associated`][] is _"is invalid"_. Note
that each associated object will contain its own `errors` collection; errors do
not bubble up to the calling model.
