Just removed
^
and$
from the regex pattern I was using to validate date parameters. Specifically, it’s the$
that breaks it, but I cannot for the life of me see why 😕Strictly speaking, this now allows anything that has a substring in the
YYYY-MM-DD
format to pass validation, but these inputs aren’t ever hand-written anyway (as far as I know). Ultimately it would result in another error saying that the date is null (since the server would then fail to parse it)—just a slightly less helpful error message.
