minCount/maxCount for number/date length. #253

Open janat08 opened 6 years ago

Would be nice if minCount and maxCount would be available to check for length of number/date as string length, where you'd probably also convert strings to count validators instead reserving min/max for actual ranges.

I'm not sure I understand this. Can you post some example schemas and data?

as in when u measure the length of string/number/integer it should logically be minCount/maxCount.

The reasons for this might go back to when you could define array and array item in the same definition, which isn't possible anymore. So it might be possible to use a clearer name like minLength for string character length.

I'm not sure what you mean by measuring the "length" of a number. The number of digits? That would be a new feature, but I can't think of why you would want to do that.

Some numbers are better expressed in length.
