Validator.js: isDate()

[rubiin]

I noticed there is no validator such as isDate() . It was removed in previous version. It would be handy to have a validator that checks date only unlike the datestring.
For example, 2018/08/09 , 1988-07-18

I think there was a reason this was removed, we'll need to check the archives...

[rubiin]

@profnandaa It would be nice to have a validator for a simple use case as i mentioned above

[profnandaa]

Sure, please make a PR and we could pick up from there. I don't want to be blocking. Also check isISO8601(str) while doing that.

I will look also on some archived PRs that had previously addressed the issue of isDate()

[Rye-Guy]

I would like to work on this issue as a part of my hacktoberfest contributions. If this is still being investigated I can move on to another.

[profnandaa]

You could skip this one for now and pick another.

Is the isDate() validator now available to use? I am needing this validation for a project I am currently working on.

@rkoziel -- currently in review #1270

[rkoziel]

Is there an ETA on when this may be available?

[profnandaa]
