reset password form validation in ruby on rails

I have an issue, I'm implementing the form validation on reset password form in ruby on rails, i don't have the email field on reset password form but email field exist in login form. when we click submit button, its show "Email must contain a valid email address.!" as well. Below the code of reset password form.

class Admin::PasswordResetsController < ApplicationController

layout 'template'

VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /A[w+-.]+@[a-zd-.]+.[a-z]+z/i

def new

end

def edit
@page_title = 'Reset Password'
@user = User.find_by_password_reset_token!(params[:id])
end

def update
@user = User.new(update_params)
if @user.valid?
@user = User.find_by_password_reset_token!(params[:id])
if @user.password_reset_sent_at < 2.hours.ago
flash[:danger] = "Your Password reset link has been expired!"
redirect_to new_admin_password_reset_path
elsif @user.update_attributes(update_params)
flash[:success] = "Your Password has been successfully reset!"
redirect_to admin_login_path
else
render :edit
end
else
render 'edit'
end
end

def update_params
params.require(:user).permit(:password)
end

private
def valid_email(email)
email.present? && (email =~ VALID_EMAIL_REGEX)
end

end


Below the code of user model..

class User < ApplicationRecord
#attr_accessor :id, :email, :password

before_create generate_token(:auth_token)

has_secure_password

VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /A[w+-.]+@[a-zd-.]+.[a-z]+z/i
validates :email, format: with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX, message: 'must contain a valid email address.!'
#validates :password, presence: true
#length: minimum: 4, maximum: 16

def send_password_reset
generate_token(:password_reset_token)
self.password_reset_sent_at = Time.zone.now
save!
UserMailer.password_reset(self).deliver
end

def generate_token(column)
begin
self[column] = SecureRandom.urlsafe_base64
end while User.exists?(column => self[column])
end

end


Below the html code of edit.html

<% content_for :title, @page_title %>
<div class="forgot" style="min-height:0px">
<%= form_for @user, url: admin_password_reset_path(params[:id]), method: :patch, html: class: "forget-form" do |f| %>

<% if @user.errors.full_messages.any? %>
<% @user.errors.full_messages.reverse.each do |error_message| %>
<div class="alert alert-danger"><%= error_message %></div>
<% end %>
<% end %>


<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :new_password %>
<%= f.password_field :password, class: "form-control", placeholder: "New Password" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :password_confirmation %>
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation, class: "form-control", placeholder: "Confirm Password" %>
</div>
<div class="actions"><%= f.submit "Update Password", class: "btn btn-primary btn-block" %></div>
<% end %>
</div>

You need to skip the validation of email in order to achieve this. Add a condition to tell Rails to check the email validation only when it is required like so.

validates :email, format: if: :email_required?, with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX, message: 'must contain a valid email address.!'
