All Implemented Interfaces:

InterfaceCheckerDate<CheckerDate,Date>, InterfaceChecker<AbstractChecker<Date,CheckerDate>,Date>

public class CheckerDate
extends AbstractChecker<Date,CheckerDate>
implements InterfaceCheckerDate<CheckerDate,Date>

A specialized checker for Date instances, providing fluent API methods to assert temporal properties such as being before/after another date, inclusivity checks, range validations, and whether a date lies in the past or future.

Typical usage:

 Date deadline = ...;
 Date now = new Date();

 CheckerDate checker = CheckerDate.check(deadline)
     .isAfter(now)
     .inRange(now, new Date(now.getTime() + 86400000)) // within the next 24 hours
     .isFuture();
 

This class integrates with InterfaceCheckerDate for standardized temporal validations and supports chaining multiple assertions in a fluent, expressive style.
