generateCoerceDateCheck()

generateCoerceDateCheck(varName, ctx, customMessage?): CodeGenResult

Experimental

Generates inline code for coerce.date().

If the value is already a valid Date, returns true. Otherwise, attempts to convert to Date with special handling for:

  • number: new Date(value)
  • string: new Date(value)
  • boolean: new Date(value ? 1 : 0)
  • other: new Date(String(value))

Returns { coerced: result } for successful coercions, error string otherwise.
