+### `inline`: [[InlineValidator]]
+
+Uses a custom function to validate the attribute. You need to define a public method in your model class which will evaluate the validity of the attribute. For example, if an attribute needs to be divisible by 10. In the rules you would define: `['attributeName', 'myValidationMethod'],`.
+
+Then, your own method could look like this:
+```php
+public function myValidationMethod($attribute) {
+    if(($attribute % 10) != 0) {
+         $this->addError($attribute, 'cannot divide value by 10');
+    }
+}
+```
+
 ### `integer`: [[NumberValidator]]
 
 Validates that the attribute value is an integer number.
