def validate_each(record, attribute, value)
  if value.is_a? Array
    if options[:min].present? && value.size < options[:min]
      record.errors.add attribute, options[:min_message] || "must have at least #{options[:min]} #{'item'.pluralize(options[:min])}"
    end

    if options[:max].present? && value.size > options[:max]
      record.errors.add attribute, options[:max_message] || "must have at most #{options[:max]} #{'item'.pluralize(options[:max])}"
