[new feature] Allow chance.birthday({minAge, maxAge})

See original GitHub issue

I need to generate birthday dates within a range of ages. This is not rocket science, but the code to calculate the correct upper and lower date limits is error-prone:

day range follows the rule currently used into Chance.prototype.birthday:

min.setFullYear(currentYear - age - 1);
max.setFullYear(currentYear - age);

but the time range needs some fixes to consider days as whole – as nobody “ceases” to be the birthday person at 7:32, for example – making the full range actually greater than the given range, in years:

// this is just pseudo-code, due to `setFulTime`
min.setFulTime('00:00:00.000');
max.setDate(dt.getDate() + 1)
max.setFulTime('00:00:00.000');
max.setMilliseconds(max.getMilliseconds() -1);

Besides, that, I think the semantics of this would be very intuitive and easy to read.

No issue on my end, it looks like you closed it yourself, maybe an accident?
