How to validate date with only year input
Greetings Pros,
I have input box that will only accept year date. Now i want to know how can i validate that the inputted year is a valid year. I'm using Request to validate inputs but i can't validate the inputted year using date and date_format.
I tried this
'pricing_date' => 'required|date_format:Y',
'pricing_date' => 'required|date',
Thanks!

Perhaps you want to validate a range of years? eg 'min:1900|max:2500|size:4'
You need to specify what a "valid" year is for your purpose

Year is a number, it's not really a date if you think about it.

Sorry for incomplete details. I want to validate the year from 1900 to current year.

@jake2025 in the boot method of AppServiceProvider (import carbon)
Validator::extend('date_greater_than', function($attribute, $value, $parameters, $validator) {
$inserted = Carbon::parse($value)->year;
$since = $parameters[0];
return $inserted >= $since && $inserted<= Carbon::now()->year;
});
in your rule
'pricing_date' => 'required|date_greater_than:1900',

@jake2025 I'd simply go for this if the input value is a year.
'pricing_date' => 'required|min:1900|max:'.date("Y"),
If the input value is a full date and you only want to validate the year check @InaniELHoussain's answer.

This worked for me:
'year' => 'required|integer|min:'.date('Y')

Rules:
'integer|min:' . (date("Y") - 100) . '|max:' . date("Y") . '|size:4'
