Hi, Not to self promote, but this is the *exact* use case I created CompareChain for:
https://hexdocs.pm/compare_chain/readme.html#background-and-motivation import CompareChain # excluding bounds compare?(start_date < date < end_date, Date) # including bounds compare?(start_date <= date <= end_date, Date) In case your proposal is not accepted, please consider trying it out as a substitute :) On Friday, July 5, 2024 at 4:49:37 AM UTC-4 eomo...@gmail.com wrote: > I have been extensively working with dates recently and found the need to > create a function between?/3.
