Laravel Date Validation
----------------------------------------------

Laravel provide some handful method for date validation.

Date validation Rules
Here is the list of validation rules

• date
• date_format
• after:date
• after_or_equal:date
• before:date
• before_or_equal:date

after:date

The field under validation must be a value after a given date. The dates will be passed into the strtotime PHP function:

$rules = ['start_date' => 'required|date|after:tomorrow'];

Instead of passing a date string to be evaluated by strtotime, you may specify another field to compare against the date:
$rules = ['finish_date' => 'required|date|after:start_date'];

before:date

$rules = ['start_date' => 'required|date|before:tomorrow'];

// with date_format
$rules = ['start_date' => 'date_format:d/m/Y'];
