Directus Extension: Validate Two Dates

A Directus extension that validates that a second date field is greater than a first date field. This is particularly useful for scenarios like validating departure and arrival dates, start and end dates, etc.

Features

• Validates that the second date is greater than the first date
• Works with both create and update operations
• Configurable collection and field names
• Customizable error messages
• Handles partial updates by fetching missing dates from the database

Installation

1. Install the extension:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/directus-extension-validate-two-dates.git
cd directus-extension-validate-two-dates

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Configure the extension by editing src/config.js:

export const collection = "your_collection"; // The collection to validate
export const firstDateField = "start_date"; // First date field name
export const secondDateField = "end_date"; // Second date field name
export const errorMessage = '"End Date" must be greater than "Start Date"'; // Custom error message

4. Build the extension:

npm run build

Usage

Once installed and configured, the extension will automatically validate dates when:

• Creating new items
• Updating existing items

The validation ensures that the second date is always greater than the first date.
