validators\DateValidator $type

The type of the validator. Indicates, whether a date, time or datetime value should be validated. This property influences the default value of $format and also sets the correct behavior when $format is one of the intl short formats, short, medium, long, or full.

This is only effective when the PHP intl extension is installed.

This property can be set to the following values:

• TYPE_DATE - (default) for validating date values only, that means only values that do not include a time range are valid.
• TYPE_DATETIME - for validating datetime values, that contain a date part as well as a time part.
• TYPE_TIME - for validating time values, that contain no date information.
