TimeConstraints

This class defines a set of temporal boundaries used to restrict or validate time-based data. It supports inclusive and exclusive upper and lower bounds, along with optional timezone constraints to ensure precise temporal comparisons.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
le	Time	Specifies that the time must be less than or equal to this value.
lt	Time	Specifies that the time must be strictly less than this value.
ge	Time	Specifies that the time must be greater than or equal to this value.
gt	Time	Specifies that the time must be strictly greater than this value.
tz	[TZConstraint](../datetime/tzconstraint.md?sid=validators_datetime_tzconstraint)	Defines the timezone constraint to be applied when evaluating time comparisons.

Constructor

Signature

def TimeConstraints(
    le: Option< Time > = null,
    lt: Option< Time > = null,
    ge: Option< Time > = null,
    gt: Option< Time > = null,
    tz: Option< TZConstraint > = null
) - > null

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
le	Option< Time > = null	Less than or equal to constraint
lt	Option< Time > = null	Less than constraint
ge	Option< Time > = null	Greater than or equal to constraint
gt	Option< Time > = null	Greater than constraint
tz	Option< TZConstraint > = null	Timezone specific constraint

Methods

---

le()

def le(
    le: Time
) - > [TimeConstraints](timeconstraints.md?sid=validators_time_timeconstraints)

Sets the 'less than or equal to' constraint for the time value.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
le	Time	The maximum allowable time value, inclusive of the specified time.

Returns

Type	Description
[TimeConstraints](timeconstraints.md?sid=validators_time_timeconstraints)	The updated TimeConstraints instance with the upper bound inclusive limit applied.

---

lt()

def lt(
    lt: Time
) - > [TimeConstraints](timeconstraints.md?sid=validators_time_timeconstraints)

Sets the 'less than' constraint for the time value.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
lt	Time	The maximum allowable time value, excluding the specified time.

Returns

Type	Description
[TimeConstraints](timeconstraints.md?sid=validators_time_timeconstraints)	The updated TimeConstraints instance with the upper bound exclusive limit applied.

---

ge()

def ge(
    ge: Time
) - > [TimeConstraints](timeconstraints.md?sid=validators_time_timeconstraints)

Sets the 'greater than or equal to' constraint for the time value.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
ge	Time	The minimum allowable time value, inclusive of the specified time.

Returns

Type	Description
[TimeConstraints](timeconstraints.md?sid=validators_time_timeconstraints)	The updated TimeConstraints instance with the lower bound inclusive limit applied.

---

gt()

def gt(
    gt: Time
) - > [TimeConstraints](timeconstraints.md?sid=validators_time_timeconstraints)

Sets the 'greater than' constraint for the time value.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
gt	Time	The minimum allowable time value, excluding the specified time.

Returns

Type	Description
[TimeConstraints](timeconstraints.md?sid=validators_time_timeconstraints)	The updated TimeConstraints instance with the lower bound exclusive limit applied.

---

tz()

def tz(
    tz: [TZConstraint](../datetime/tzconstraint.md?sid=validators_datetime_tzconstraint)
) - > [TimeConstraints](timeconstraints.md?sid=validators_time_timeconstraints)

Applies a timezone constraint to the time comparison logic.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
tz	[TZConstraint](../datetime/tzconstraint.md?sid=validators_datetime_tzconstraint)	The timezone constraint object defining how offsets or zones should be handled during validation.

Returns

Type	Description
[TimeConstraints](timeconstraints.md?sid=validators_time_timeconstraints)	The updated TimeConstraints instance configured with the specified timezone rules.
