I want to validate DateTime like this code below

{

    data: {

        start: 2018-05-12 08:00:00

    }

}

How to combine isISO8601() and match(regex) to validate date & time in start

body('*.start')

  .exists()

  .not()

  .isEmpty()

  .withMessage('start cannot be empty')

  .isISO8601('yyyy-mm-dd')

  .matches('^([0-9]|0[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]$')

  .withMessage('start must be in correct format yyyy:mm:dd hh:mm:ss'),

Unfortunately having datetime validation is currently unavailable with express-validator.

Meanwhile you can go for a pure regex, which will be,

.matches('/^([+-]?d{4}(?!d{2}b))((-?)((0[1-9]|1[0-2])(3([12]d|0[1-9]|3[01]))?|W([0-4]d|5[0-2])(-?[1-7])?|(00[1-9]|0[1-9]d|[12]d{2}|3([0-5]d|6[1-6])))([Ts]((([01]d|2[0-3])((:?)[0-5]d)?|24:?00)([.,]d+(?!:))?)?(17[0-5]d([.,]d+)?)?([zZ]|([+-])([01]d|2[0-3]):?([0-5]d)?)?)?)?$/)

Hope this helps!
