How to validate date format in Ruby on Rails

Posted by Sandro Paganotti in Ruby on Rails - comments are closed digg this add to delicious

Have you noticed that there is no validation for date formats in rails? I’ve found this really well made plug-in that let you use expressions such as:


   validates_date     :date_of_birth
   validates_time     :time_of_birth


and more complex expressions like:


   validates_date :date_of_birth, :before => [:date_of_death, Proc.new { 1.day.from_now_to_date}], :after => '1 Jan 1900'
   validates_date :date_of_death, :before => Proc.new { 1.day.from_now.to_date }


Here is the plugin source:
