Description

Create a validator for timezone identifiers (IANA/Olson database).

Features:

  • Validate against standard IANA timezone database
  • Support both full names (America/New_York) and abbreviations (EST)
  • Add examples for multi-region deployments

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research the IANA timezone database and implement a validator function that checks if a given string is a valid IANA timezone name or abbreviation. Use Go's time package or a library like golang.org/x/time/rate to load the database. Add tests and examples for multi region deployments.
