Yup date validation, End date after start date

Viewed 1460

here's my code, i'm trying to force the two date fields always to be different, the end date must be at least 1 day after the start date.

const EditSchema = Yup.object().shape({

       StartDate: Yup.date()
      .transform(value => (isDate(value) ? undefined : value))
      .typeError('Enter a start date')
      .required('Enter a start date'),

       EndDate: Yup.date()
      .min(Yup.ref('StartDate'), 'End date must be after start date')
      .transform(value => (isDate(value) ? undefined : value))
      .typeError('Enter an end date')
      .required('Enter an end date')
});

After hours trying to figure out how to do it.

here's the code.

when you have a date picker and you select a date, it will be something like this "01/01/2021 00:00:00".

So if you need the end date to be at least 1 day after the start date, you've got to add 1 hour to the start date which will not let you put 2 equal dates.


   StartDate: Yup.date()
      .transform(value => (isDate(value) ? undefined : value))
      .typeError('Enter a date')
      .required('Enter a date')
      ),
      EndDate: Yup.date()
      .min(Yup.ref('StartDate'), 'End date must be after start date')
      .when('StartDate', (st, schema) => {
      
        if(st != null){
          st.setHours(st.getHours() + 1);
          return schema.min(st)

        //this else prevents your page from crashing if there's any other input
        
         }else
          return schema.min('1900-01-01')

      })
      .transform(value => (isDate(value) ? undefined : value))
      .typeError('Enter a date')
      .required('Enter a date')
  });
