Hamcrest Date Matchers

The OrderingComparison::greaterThan matcher will work on any type which is comparable to itself (it's in the org.hamcrest.number package, but it's not actually number-specific). Date is such a type.

There is a library of hamcrest date matchers provided by the library at https://github.com/eXparity/hamcrest-date which is also available for maven, ivy, etc at

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.exparity</groupId>
    <artifactId>hamcrest-date</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

It supports various matchers for dates so allows constructs such as

Date myBirthday = new Date();
MatcherAssert.assertThat(myBirthday, DateMatchers.after(Moments.today()));

or

Date myBirthday = new Date();
MatcherAssert.assertThat(myBirthday, DateMatchers.isToday());
