Overview
The challenge
Users should be able to:
- View an age in years, months, and days after submitting a valid date through the form
- Receive validation errors if:
- Any field is empty when the form is submitted
- The day number is not between 1-31
- The month number is not between 1-12
- The year is in the future
- The date is invalid e.g. 31/04/1991 (there are 30 days in April)
- View the optimal layout for the interface depending on their device's screen size
- See hover and focus states for all interactive elements on the page
- Bonus: See the age numbers animate to their final number when the form is submitted

Using VeeValidate
import { useField } from 'vee-validate';
const { errors } = useField('<name of the field>', rules);
import { useForm, } from 'vee-validate';
const { validate : validateDateForm } = useForm();
async function validateForm() {
const { valid: isValid } = await validateDateForm()
if (isValid) {
// code...
}
}
