# Date
- `Date()`
- `Date(string $format)`
Validates if input is a date. The `$format` argument should be in accordance to
PHP's [date()](http://php.net/date) function, but only those are allowed:
| Format | Description | Values |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------- |
| `d` | Day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros | 01 to 31 |
| `j` | Day of the month without leading zeros | 1 to 31 |
| `S` | English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2 characters | st, nd, rd or th |
| `F` | A full textual representation of a month, such as January or March | January to December |
| `m` | Numeric representation of a month, with leading zeros | 01 to 12 |
| `M` | A short textual representation of a month, three letters | Jan to Dec |
| `n` | Numeric representation of a month, without leading zeros | 1 to 12 |
| `Y` | A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits | Examples: 1988 or 2017 |
| `y` | A two digit representation of a year | Examples: 88 or 17 |
When a `$format` is not given its default value is `Y-m-d`.
```php
v::date()->assert('2017-12-31');
// Validation passes successfully
v::date()->assert('2020-02-29');
// Validation passes successfully
v::date()->assert('2019-02-29');
// → "2019-02-29" must be a date in the "2005-12-30" format
v::date('m/d/y')->assert('12/31/17');
// Validation passes successfully
v::date('F jS, Y')->assert('May 1st, 2017');
// Validation passes successfully
v::date('Ydm')->assert(20173112);
// Validation passes successfully
```
