NG Absolute Form Validator - V14.0

DateFormat

The DateFormat rule confirms that a field holds a genuinely valid date, whether it arrives as a JavaScript Date object or as a date string — useful anywhere a form collects a date of birth, appointment time, or shipping date and you need to reject nonsense input like '31-02-2024' or a garbled string before it ever reaches your business logic. When the value is a string, it's parsed using the DD-MM-YYYY format by default, so a value like 05-08-2026 is read as 5 August 2026 rather than May 8th.
