+# Skip Validations When Creating A Record
+
+Validations on your
+[ActiveRecord](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html)
+models are there for a reason. They provide application-level feedback about
+data that doesn't meet business requirements.  In many cases those validations
+should also be pushed down to the database-layer in the form of constraints.
+
+Sometimes, though rarely and probably only in a testing or development context,
+you'll want to skip validations.
+
+This is how you can do that when creating a new record:
+
+```ruby
+user = User.new(
+  name: 'Josh',
+  email: '',
+  password: SecureRandom.uuid
+)
+
+user.valid?
+#=> false
+user.errors.messages
+#=> {:email=>["can't be blank"]}
+
+user.save(validate: false)
+```
+
+After newing-up an object with invalid data, you can [save it with the
+`validate` option set to
+`false`](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Persistence.html#method-i-save).
+This will skip ActiveRecord validations.
+
+Note: If you also have a database-layer constraint, this won't work. Perhaps
+for your use case you can get by with a new non-persisted record.
