Date Format

Available since v7.12.x

Adaptation of Laravel's date_formatopen in new window rule. The difference is that, this rule handles an edge case that concerns UTC timezone offset.

If allowed date format contains the p token (timezone offset)open in new window, and the date in question contains +00:00 or "Z" (UTC) as timezone offset, then this rule will use a slightly different comparison that ensures desired outcome.

For instance, if you expect a date format like 'Y-m-d\TH:i:sp', then the following equivalent dates will pass validation.

  • 2023-01-01T11:25:00+00:00
  • 2023-01-01T11:25:00Z
use Aedart\Validation\Rules\DateFormat;

$data = $request->validate([
    'performed_at' => [ new DateFormat('Y-m-d\TH:i:sp') ],
]);
