DateConstraints

This class defines a set of constraints for validating date values by specifying upper and lower bounds. It supports inclusive and exclusive comparisons, as well as dynamic constraints relative to the current date.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
le	Date	Specifies the maximum inclusive date allowed for the field value.
lt	Date	Specifies the exclusive upper bound date that the field value must be strictly less than.
ge	Date	Specifies the minimum inclusive date allowed for the field value.
gt	Date	Specifies the exclusive lower bound date that the field value must be strictly greater than.
today	[NowConstraint](../datetime/nowconstraint.md?sid=validators_datetime_nowconstraint)	Defines dynamic constraints relative to the current system date at the time of validation.

Constructor

Signature

def DateConstraints(
    le: Option< Date > = null,
    lt: Option< Date > = null,
    ge: Option< Date > = null,
    gt: Option< Date > = null,
    today: Option< NowConstraint > = null
) - > null

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
le	Option< Date > = null	Less than or equal to constraint
lt	Option< Date > = null	Less than constraint
ge	Option< Date > = null	Greater than or equal to constraint
gt	Option< Date > = null	Greater than constraint
today	Option< NowConstraint > = null	Constraint relative to the current date

Methods

---

le()

def le(
    le: Date
) - > [DateConstraints](dateconstraints.md?sid=validators_date_dateconstraints)

Sets the inclusive upper bound for the date value. Use this to ensure a date is on or before a specific calendar day.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
le	Date	The maximum allowable date, inclusive of the specified day.

Returns

Type	Description
[DateConstraints](dateconstraints.md?sid=validators_date_dateconstraints)	The updated DateConstraints instance with the less-than-or-equal-to constraint applied.

---

lt()

def lt(
    lt: Date
) - > [DateConstraints](dateconstraints.md?sid=validators_date_dateconstraints)

Sets the exclusive upper bound for the date value. Use this to ensure a date occurs strictly before a specific calendar day.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
lt	Date	The date that the value must be strictly earlier than.

Returns

Type	Description
[DateConstraints](dateconstraints.md?sid=validators_date_dateconstraints)	The updated DateConstraints instance with the less-than constraint applied.

---

ge()

def ge(
    ge: Date
) - > [DateConstraints](dateconstraints.md?sid=validators_date_dateconstraints)

Sets the inclusive lower bound for the date value. Use this to ensure a date is on or after a specific calendar day.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
ge	Date	The minimum allowable date, inclusive of the specified day.

Returns

Type	Description
[DateConstraints](dateconstraints.md?sid=validators_date_dateconstraints)	The updated DateConstraints instance with the greater-than-or-equal-to constraint applied.

---

gt()

def gt(
    gt: Date
) - > [DateConstraints](dateconstraints.md?sid=validators_date_dateconstraints)

Sets the exclusive lower bound for the date value. Use this to ensure a date occurs strictly after a specific calendar day.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
gt	Date	The date that the value must be strictly later than.

Returns

Type	Description
[DateConstraints](dateconstraints.md?sid=validators_date_dateconstraints)	The updated DateConstraints instance with the greater-than constraint applied.

---

today()

def today(
    today: [NowConstraint](../datetime/nowconstraint.md?sid=validators_datetime_nowconstraint)
) - > [DateConstraints](dateconstraints.md?sid=validators_date_dateconstraints)

Applies a constraint relative to the current system date. Use this to validate dates against a rolling 'now' reference, such as requiring a date to be in the future.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
today	[NowConstraint](../datetime/nowconstraint.md?sid=validators_datetime_nowconstraint)	The relative time constraint configuration used to compare the value against the current date.

Returns

Type	Description
[DateConstraints](dateconstraints.md?sid=validators_date_dateconstraints)	The updated DateConstraints instance with the relative 'now' constraint applied.
