# dates

A Boolean value that indicates whether to determine matches using date or time values.

```
var dates: Bool?
```

## Discussion

Set the value of this property to `true` to give the model the option to filter results based on date or time
values. For example, you might enable this option if your items contain a start date or end date. If you
don’t specify a value for this property, the default value is `false`.
