-Pre save data validation and cleaning
--------------------------------------
-MongoEngine allows you to create custom cleaning rules for your documents when
-calling :meth:`~mongoengine.Document.save`.  By providing a custom
-:meth:`~mongoengine.Document.clean` method you can do any pre validation / data
-cleaning.
-
-This might be useful if you want to ensure a default value based on other
-document values for example::
-
-    class Essay(Document):
-        status = StringField(choices=('Published', 'Draft'), required=True)
-        pub_date = DateTimeField()
-
-        def clean(self):
-            """Ensures that only published essays have a `pub_date` and
-            automatically sets `pub_date` if essay is published and `pub_date`
-            is not set"""
-            if self.status == 'Draft' and self.pub_date is not None:
-                msg = 'Draft entries should not have a publication date.'
-                raise ValidationError(msg)
-            # Set the pub_date for published items if not set.
-            if self.status == 'Published' and self.pub_date is None:
-                self.pub_date = datetime.now()
-
-.. note::
-    Cleaning is only called if validation is turned on and when calling
-    :meth:`~mongoengine.Document.save`.
