For use in the browser, use browserify.

Usage

var isAbsoluteTime = require( 'validate.io-absolute-time' );

isAbsoluteTime( value )

Validates whether an input string is an absolute date; e.g., 2014/07/18-9:34:42. An absolute date is formatted according to the following rules:

year, month, and day are separated by /: year/month/day

calendar values are separated from temporal values by either a space or `-`: `year/month/day-00:00:00` or `year/month/day 00:00:00`

if specified, hour and minutes must be specified together: 00:00
seconds are optional

var value = '2014/01/01 0:00:01';

var bool = isAbsoluteTime( value );
// returns true

Note: the method returns false for any value which is not a string.

Examples

console.log( isAbsoluteTime( '2014/07/14' ) );
// returns true

console.log( isAbsoluteTime( '2014/07/14 9:23' ) );
// returns true

console.log( isAbsoluteTime( '2014/07/18-9:34:42' ) );
// returns true

console.log( isAbsoluteTime( '2014-07-14 9:34:42' ) );
// returns false
