date

Accepts below values and returns Date object.

  • ISO8601 extended-format
    • string type
    • always
    • in fact, not strict specification but SUBSET like following:
      • 2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z
      • 2000-01-02T03:04:05Z
      • 2000-01-02T03:04Z
  • unixtime-format
    • number or number-like string type
    • optional

ambient declarations

export function date(rules?: RulesForDate): DateSchema;

type RulesForNumber = {
    iso8601?: {
        defaultTimezone?: string;
    },
    unixtime?: {
        strictType?: boolean;
        precision: UNIXTIME.PRECISION;
    },

    ifUndefined?: Date | null;
    ifEmptyString?: Date | null;
    ifNull?: Date | null;

    minValue?: Date | {value: Date, adjusts: boolean};
    maxValue?: Date | {value: Date, adjusts: boolean};

}
type ErrorHandler = (err: ValueSchemaError) => Date | null | never;
interface DateSchema {
    applyTo(value: unknown, onError?: ErrorHandler): Date | null
}

applyTo(value[, onError])

Applies schema to value.

If an error occurs, this method calls onError (if specified) or throw ValueSchemaError (otherwise).

unixtime

Accept unixtime-based number or number-like string. When this parameter is omitted, unixtime will not be accepted.

ifUndefined

Specifies return value when input value is undefined.

NOTE: {ifUndefined: undefined} is NOT equivalent to {}. The former accepts undefined input value (and keeps it as-is), the latter doesn’t.

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.date({ifUndefined: new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z")}).applyTo(undefined),
    new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z"));

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.date().applyTo(undefined),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", rule: vs.RULE.UNDEFINED});

// should accept `undefined` value
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.date({ifUndefined: undefined}).applyTo(undefined),
    undefined);

ifNull

Specifies return value when input value is null.

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.date({ifNull: new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z")}).applyTo(null),
    new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z"));

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.date().applyTo(null),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", rule: vs.RULE.NULL});

ifEmptyString

Specifies return value when input value is "".

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.date({ifEmptyString: new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z")}).applyTo(""),
    new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z"));

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.date().applyTo(""),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", rule: vs.RULE.EMPTY_STRING});

minValue

Limits minimum value.

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.date({minValue: {value: new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z"), adjusts: true}}).applyTo("2000-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"),
    new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z"));

// should cause errors
assert.throws(
    () => vs.date({minValue: {value: new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z"), adjusts: false}}).applyTo("2000-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"),

    {name: "ValueSchemaError", rule: vs.RULE.MIN_VALUE});

maxValue

Limits maximum value.

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.date({maxValue: {value: new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z"), adjusts: true}}).applyTo("2000-12-31T23:59:59.999Z"),
    new Date("2000-01-02T03:04:05.678Z"));

// should cause errors

    {name: "ValueSchemaError", rule: vs.RULE.MAX_VALUE});

transform

Transforms input value to another.

fail() causes ValueSchemaError.

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.date({transform: value => new Date(value.getTime() + 1000)}).applyTo("2000-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"),
    new Date("2000-01-01T00:00:01.000Z"));

// should cause errors
assert.throws(
    () => vs.date({transform: (value, fail) => fail()}).applyTo("2000-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", rule: vs.RULE.TRANSFORM});
