[Question] Pass an argument to Validator

[yongkeecho]

Please be sure to check the readme file before raising an issue.
Is there a way to pass an argument to a validator? My ScheduleValidator needs to check its StartTime is past or not. So I need to convert UtcNow to user's local time as below. How can I set Offset from my Blazor code?

`public class ScheduleValidator : AbstractValidator
{
public TimeSpan Offset { get; set; } = TimeSpan.Zero;

public ScheduleValidator()
{
    RuleFor(s => s.Subject)
        .NotEmpty().WithMessage("You must provide a subject.")
        .MaximumLength(64).WithMessage("The subject exceeds the allowed length of 64.");
    RuleFor(s => s.ReservedBy)
        .NotEmpty().WithMessage("You must specify who is reserving the event.")
        .EmailAddress().WithMessage("You must provide a valid Gilead email address.");
    RuleFor(s => s.StartTime)
        .GreaterThanOrEqualTo(GetLocalNow()).WithMessage("You cannot book an event in the past.")
        .LessThanOrEqualTo(GetLocalNow().AddMonths(1)).WithMessage("You cannot book more than a month in advance.");
    RuleFor(s => s.Description)
        .NotEmpty().WithMessage("You must provide a short description of the event.")
        .MaximumLength(256).WithMessage("The description exceeds the allowed length of 256.");
}

public DateTime GetLocalNow() => new DateTime(new DateTimeOffset(DateTime.UtcNow).ToOffset(Offset).Ticks, DateTimeKind.Local);

}`

`

<FluentValidationValidator @ref="_fluentValidator" DisableAssemblyScanning="false" />

@code {
private FluentValidationValidator? _fluentValidator;

private async Task OnSubmitAsync()
{

if (await _fluentValidator!.ValidateAsync())
{

...

Create an instance of ScheduleValidator() and pass the argument there when you instantiate it, that could work :)
