/**
 * A String whose value is a valid representation of a Date.
 * Use this type if you need to preserve the format of the value and still
 * check if it's valid.
 * Example:
 * ```js
 * var loopback = require('loopback');
 * var dt = new loopback.DateString('2001-01-01');
 *
 * dt.toString();
 * // '2001-01-01'
 * dt._date.toISOString();
 * // '2001-01-01T00:00:00.000Z'
 * ```
 *
 * You can use this definition on your models as well:
 * ```json
 * {
 *   "name": "Person",
 *   "base": "PersistedModel",
 *   "properties": {
 *     "name": {
 *       "type": "string"
 *     },
 *     "dob": {
