# MinimumAge This is going to be deprecated, please use [Age](Age.md) instead. - `v::minimumAge(int $age)` - `v::minimumAge(int $age, string $format)` Validates a minimum age for a given date. ```php v::minimumAge(18)->validate('1987-01-01'); // true v::minimumAge(18, 'd/m/Y')->validate('01/01/1987'); // true ``` Using `date()` before is a best-practice. Message template for this validator includes `{{age}}`. *** See also: * [Age](Age.md) * [Date](Date.md)
