datetime → Check Date against Condition

AI-generated

Overview

This node checks a given date against a specified condition using the "datetime" resource and the "Check Date against Condition" operation. It is useful for automating workflows that require validation or categorization of dates, such as determining if a date is valid, checking for leap years, identifying weekdays/weekends, or verifying UTC format.

Practical examples:

  • Validating user-inputted dates before processing.
  • Filtering records to only include those from weekends.
  • Triggering actions on leap years.
  • Ensuring date strings are in UTC format.

Properties

Name Meaning

Condition Condition to check the date against. Options:
- isDate: Checks if the input is a valid date.

Output

  • The output will be a JSON object containing the result of the date check. The structure typically includes:
    • A field indicating whether the condition was met (e.g., true/false or similar).
    • If an error occurs, the output will contain an error field with details about the issue.

Example output:

{
  "isLeapYear": true
}

or, in case of error:

{
  "error": "Invalid date format"
}
