@ -37,6 +37,14 @@ use the same validator with forms::
class MyForm(forms.Form):
even_field = forms.IntegerField(validators=[validate_even])

configurable validators. :class:`RegexValidator`, for example, uses this
technique. If a class-based validator is used in the
:attr:`~django.db.models.Field.validators` model field option, you should make
sure it is :ref:`serializable by the migration framework
<migration-serializing>` by adding :ref:`deconstruct()
<custom-deconstruct-method>` and ``__eq__()`` methods.
