6
+ ## Description
7
+
8
+ Complete validation of dates, times and datetimes for Rails 3.x and
9
+ ActiveModel.
10
+
11
+ This is a Rails 4-compatible fork of the
12
+ [original validates_timeliness gem][original] by [Adam Meehan][adzap].
13
+
14
+ This is a Rails 4.2-compatible fork of the
15
+ [original validates_timeliness gem][original] by [John Carney][johncarney].
16
+
17
+ ## Features
18
+
19
+ * Adds validation for dates, times and datetimes to ActiveModel
20
+ * Handles timezones and type casting of values for you
21
+ * Only Rails date/time validation plugin offering complete validation (See
22
+ ORM/ODM support)
23
+ * Uses extensible date/time parser (Using
24
+ [timeliness gem][timeliness]. See Plugin Parser)
25
+ * Adds extensions to fix Rails date/time select issues (See Extensions)
26
+ * Supports I18n for the error messages
27
+ * Supports all the Rubies (that any sane person would be using in production).
28
+
29
+ ## Installation
30
+
31
+ # in Gemfile
32
+ gem 'jc-validates_timeliness'
33
+
34
+ # Run bundler
35
+ $ bundle install
36
+
37
+ Then run
38
+
39
+ $ rails generate validates_timeliness:install
40
+
41
+ This creates configuration initializer and locale files. In the initializer,
42
+ there are a number of config options to customize the plugin.
43
+
44
+ NOTE: You may wish to enable the plugin parser and the extensions to start.
45
+ Please read those sections first.
46
+
47
+ ## Examples
48
+
49
+ validates_datetime :occurred_at
50
+
51
+ validates_date :date_of_birth, :before => lambda { 18.years.ago },
52
+ :before_message => "must be at least 18 years old"
53
+
54
+ validates_datetime :finish_time, :after => :start_time # Method symbol
55
+
56
+ validates_date :booked_at, :on => :create, :on_or_after => :today # See Restriction Shorthand.
57
+
58
+ validates_time :booked_at, :between => ['9:00am', '5:00pm'] # On or after 9:00AM and on or before 5:00PM
59
+ validates_time :booked_at, :between => '9:00am'..'5:00pm' # The same as previous example
60
+ validates_time :booked_at, :between => '9:00am'...'5:00pm' # On or after 9:00AM and strictly before 5:00PM
61
+
62
+ validates_time :breakfast_time, :on_or_after => '6:00am',
63
+ :on_or_after_message => 'must be after opening time',
64
+ :before => :lunchtime,
65
+ :before_message => 'must be before lunch time'
66
+
67
+ ## Usage
68
+
69
+ To validate a model with a date, time or datetime attribute you just use the
70
+ validation method
71
+
72
+ class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
73
+ validates_date :date_of_birth, :on_or_before => lambda { Date.current }
74
+ # or
75
+ validates :date_of_birth, :timeliness => {:on_or_before => lambda { Date.current }, :type => :date}
76
+ end
77
+
78
+ or even on a specific record, per ActiveModel API.
79
+
80
+ @person.validates_date :date_of_birth, :on_or_before => lambda { Date.current }
81
+
82
+ The list of validation methods available are as follows:
83
+
84
+ validates_date - validate value as date
85
+ validates_time - validate value as time only i.e. '12:20pm'
86
+ validates_datetime - validate value as a full date and time
87
+ validates - use the :timeliness key and set the type in the hash.
88
+
89
+ The validation methods take the usual options plus some specific ones to
90
+ restrict the valid range of dates or times allowed
91
+
92
+ Temporal options (or restrictions):
93
+
94
+ :is_at - Attribute must be equal to value to be valid
95
+ :before - Attribute must be before this value to be valid
96
+ :on_or_before - Attribute must be equal to or before this value to be valid
97
+ :after - Attribute must be after this value to be valid
98
+ :on_or_after - Attribute must be equal to or after this value to be valid
99
+ :between - Attribute must be between the values to be valid. Range or Array of 2 values.
100
+
101
+ Regular validation options:
102
+
103
+ :allow_nil - Allow a nil value to be valid
104
+ :allow_blank - Allows a nil or empty string value to be valid
105
+ :if - Execute validation when :if evaluates true
106
+ :unless - Execute validation when :unless evaluates false
107
+ :on - Specify validation context e.g :save, :create or :update. Default is :save.
108
+
109
+ Special options:
110
+
111
+ :ignore_usec - Ignores microsecond value on datetime restrictions
112
+ :format - Limit validation to a single format for special cases. Requires plugin parser.
113
+
114
+ The temporal restrictions can take 4 different value types:
115
+
116
+ * Date, Time, or DateTime object value
117
+ * Proc or lambda object which may take an optional parameter, being the record
118
+ object
119
+ * A symbol matching a method name in the model
120
+ * String value
121
+
122
+ When an attribute value is compared to temporal restrictions, they are
123
+ compared as the same type as the validation method type. So using
124
+ validates_date means all values are compared as dates.

130
+ The plugin adds date/time validation to ActiveModel for any ORM/ODM that
131
+ supports the ActiveModel validations component. However, there is an issue
132
+ with most ORM/ODMs which does not allow 100% date/time validation by default.
133
+ Specifically, when you assign an invalid date/time value to an attribute, most
134
+ ORM/ODMs will only store a nil value for the attribute. This causes an issue
135
+ for date/time validation, since we need to know that a value was assigned but
136
+ was invalid. To fix this, we need to cache the original invalid value to know
137
+ that the attribute is not just nil.
138
+
139
+ Each ORM/ODM requires a specific shim to fix it. The plugin includes a shim
140
+ for ActiveRecord and Mongoid. You can activate them like so
141
+
142
+ ValidatesTimeliness.setup do |config|
143
+
144
+ # Extend ORM/ODMs for full support (:active_record, :mongoid).
145
+ config.extend_orms = [ :mongoid ]
146
+
147
+ end
148
+
149
+ By default the plugin extends ActiveRecord if loaded. If you wish to extend
150
+ another ORM then look at the [wiki page][orm-support] for more information.
151
+
152
+ It is not required that you use a shim, but you will not catch errors when the
153
+ attribute value is invalid and evaluated to nil.
154
+
155
+ ### Error Messages
156
+
157
+ Using the I18n system to define new defaults:
158
+
159
+ en:
160
+ errors:
161
+ messages:
162
+ invalid_date: "is not a valid date"
163
+ invalid_time: "is not a valid time"
164
+ invalid_datetime: "is not a valid datetime"
165
+ is_at: "must be at %{restriction}"
166
+ before: "must be before %{restriction}"
167
+ on_or_before: "must be on or before %{restriction}"
168
+ after: "must be after %{restriction}"
169
+ on_or_after: "must be on or after %{restriction}"
170
+
171
+ The `%{restriction}` signifies where the interpolation value for the
172
+ restriction will be inserted.
173
+
174
+ You can also use validation options for custom error messages. The following
175
+ option keys are available:
176
+
177
+ :invalid_date_message
178
+ :invalid_time_message
179
+ :invalid_datetime_message
180
+ :is_at_message
181
+ :before_message
182
+ :on_or_before_message
183
+ :after_message
184
+ :on_or_after_message
185
+
186
+ Note: There is no :between_message option. The between error message should be
187
+ defined using the :on_or_after and :on_or_before (:before in case when
188
+ :between argument is a Range with excluded high value, see Examples) messages.
189
+
190
+ It is highly recommended you use the I18n system for error messages.
191
+
192
+ ### Plugin Parser
193
+
194
+ The plugin uses the [timeliness gem][timeliness] as a fast, configurable and
195
+ extensible date and time parser. You can add or remove valid formats for
196
+ dates, times, and datetimes. It is also more strict than the Ruby parser,
197
+ which means it won't accept day of the month if it's not a valid number for
198
+ the month.
199
+
200
+ By default the parser is disabled. To enable it:
201
+
202
+ # in the setup block
203
+ config.use_plugin_parser = true
204
+
205
+ Enabling the parser will mean that strings assigned to attributes validated
206
+ with the plugin will be parsed using the gem. See the [wiki][plugin-parser]
207
+ for more details about the parser configuration.
208
+
209
+
210
+ ### Restriction Shorthand
211
+
212
+ It is common to restrict an attribute to being on or before the current time
213
+ or current day. To specify this you need to use a lambda as an option value
214
+ e.g. `lambda { Time.current }. This can be tedious noise amongst your
215
+ validations for something so common. To combat this the plugin allows you to
216
+ use shorthand symbols for often used relative times or dates.
217
+
218
+ Just provide the symbol as the option value like so:
219
+
220
+ validates_date :birth_date, :on_or_before => :today
221
+
222
+ The :today symbol is evaluated as `lambda { Date.today }`. The :now and :today
223
+ symbols are pre-configured. Configure your own like so:
224
+
225
+ # in the setup block
226
+ config.restriction_shorthand_symbols.update(
227
+ :yesterday => lambda { 1.day.ago }
228
+ )
229
+
230
+ ### Default Timezone
231
+
232
+ The plugin needs to know the default timezone you are using when parsing or
233
+ type casting values. If you are using ActiveRecord then the default is
234
+ automatically set to the same default zone as ActiveRecord. If you are using
235
+ another ORM you may need to change this setting.
236
+
237
+ # in the setup block
238
+ config.default_timezone = :utc
239
+
240
+ By default it will be UTC if ActiveRecord is not loaded.
241
+
242
+ ### Dummy Date For Time Types
243
+
244
+ Given that Ruby has no support for a time-only type, all time type columns are
245
+ evaluated as a regular Time class objects with a dummy date value set. Rails
246
+ defines the dummy date as 2000-01-01. So a time of '12:30' is evaluated as a
247
+ Time value of '2000-01-01 12:30'. If you need to customize this for some
248
+ reason you can do so as follows
249
+
250
+ # in the setup block
251
+ config.dummy_date_for_time_type = [2009, 1, 1]
252
+
253
+ The value should be an array of 3 values being year, month and day in that
254
+ order.
255
+
256
+ ### Temporal Restriction Errors
257
+
258
+ When using the validation temporal restrictions there are times when the
259
+ restriction option value itself may be invalid. This will add an error to the
260
+ model such as 'Error occurred validating birth_date for :before restriction'.
261
+ These can be annoying in development or production as you most likely just
262
+ want to skip the option if no valid value was returned. By default these
263
+ errors are displayed in Rails test mode.
264
+
265
+ To turn them on/off:
266
+
267
+ # in the setup block
268
+ config.ignore_restriction_errors = true
269
+
270
+ ## Extensions
271
+
272
+ ### Strict Parsing for Select Helpers
273
+
274
+ When using date/time select helpers, the component values are handled by
275
+ ActiveRecord using the Time class to instantiate them into a time value. This
276
+ means that some invalid dates, such as 31st June, are shifted forward and
277
+ treated as valid. To handle these cases in a strict way, you can enable the
278
+ plugin extension to treat them as invalid dates.
279
+
280
+ To activate it, uncomment this line in the initializer:
281
+
282
+ # in the setup block
283
+ config.enable_multiparameter_extension!
284
+
285
+ ### Display Invalid Values in Select Helpers
286
+
287
+ The plugin offers an extension for ActionView to allowing invalid date and
288
+ time values to be redisplayed to the user as feedback, instead of a blank
289
+ field which happens by default in Rails. Though the date helpers make this a
290
+ pretty rare occurrence, given the select dropdowns for each date/time
291
+ component, but it may be something of interest.
292
+
293
+ To activate it, uncomment this line in the initializer:
294
+
295
+ # in the setup block
296
+ config.enable_date_time_select_extension!
