A Ruby gem providing complete date, time, and datetime validation for Rails and ActiveModel, supporting multiple ORMs and custom date/time formats via the timeliness parser. It handles timezones, type casting, I18n error messages, and fixes Rails date/time select issues.

Use cases

• validate date of birth is at least 18 years ago in a Rails model
• validate a datetime field falls between business hours
• restrict a booking date to today or later
• validate a time attribute is before another attribute
• add custom date/time format parsing to Rails validations
• validate dates and times with I18n error messages

When to choose

• you need thorough date/time/datetime validation beyond Rails' built-in validates_inclusion_of hacks
• you need before/after/between restrictions with dynamic values like lambdas or method symbols
• you need timezone-aware type casting of validated values
• you use ActiveRecord, Mongoid, or other ORMs with ActiveModel

When to avoid

• you only need simple presence validation on date fields
• you are not using Rails or ActiveModel
• you need JavaScript or client-side date validation instead of server-side
