I have a problem regarding the JavaScript date function.
var atime = new Date("07.08.2021");
var btime = new Date("19.08.2021");
var ctime = new Date("03.10.2021");
var today = new Date();
console.log(atime);
console.log(btime);The variables "atime", "ctime" and "today" are working perfectly fine, but btime does not. It always says "Invalid Date", but why, it is completely the same as atime, or ctime?
It does not work with new Date("08/19/2021") either?
>Solution :
Refer to documentation of Date at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date#several_ways_to_create_a_date_object that warns for parsing strings
Note: Parsing of date strings with the Date constructor (and
Date.parse, they are equivalent) is strongly discouraged due to
browser differences and inconsistencies.
Prefer this kind of notation new Date(2021, 8, 19)
In addition, I would strongly recommend you invest some time to consider using Moment.js, e.g. https://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/
