Typescript issue with .isAfter()

[Jujunol]

The typescript definition file shows that .isAfter() takes a Date as an argument but it seems that it really wants a string. After passing it a date using the following:

req.assert('start_date', "Please select a valid start date").optional().isDate().isAfter(unixToDate(minTimestamp));

I get the following error:

TypeError: This library (validator.js) validates strings only

I think you're looking at the wrong repo? There aren't any TypeScript definitions included in this package.

Looking at the issue having req.assert I'm presuming that this was meant for express-validator.
