Question

I have a method in controller that receives a parameter like this:

def example
   .... 
   params[:Date]
end

And I just want to validate if the date is not of yesterday or earlier.

This date is not entered in the database, then the validation is required to be made ​​in the controller and not in the model.

Answer 1

Are you looking for something like this?

def example
  unless Date.strptime(params[:date], '%d/%m/%Y').before? Date.today.beginning_of_day
    #did not happen yesterday or before
  end
end
