ensure date does not occur in the past

[ArnoldZokas]

I want to validate input date to ensure it does not occur in the past.

Something like this...

var schema = Joi.date().min(function() { return moment().utc().toDate(); });

Is there already a way to achieve this?

This is currently not supported but there are a few issues open related to this

• Possible referencing date field to other date field? #404
• support factory-function in .default() ? #363

Would you accept a pull request for this?

[arb]

Absolutely.

Sorry but no functions as inputs. I'll accept a PR that handles the string 'now' as a special case for min() and max().

I just wrap the schema in a function for handling this:

var startWithValid = function(value) {
  assert(_.isDate(value), 'must be a valid Date');
  return Joi.object().keys({
    start: Joi.date().min(value).required()
  });
},

And then I use it like:

 Joi.validate(input, startWithValid(new Date()),  function (err, input) { ...

@a00andos I am not using Joi API directly, but rather via Hapijs framework. Values passed in to min/max functions get cached.

I think this one's been fixed in 4.8.0, closing.
