Description

Create a validator for date strings without time components (YYYY-MM-DD format).

Tasks:

  • Validate date format and ranges (e.g., month 1-12, day appropriate for month)
  • Support configurable date format patterns
  • Add min_date and max_date optional constraints
  • Include examples for birthdate validation

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing validators (e.g., regex validator) in the provider to understand the pattern, then implement the date validator following the same structure, ensuring to handle leap years and date ranges.
