How can I determine whether a given string represents a date?

Question

Is there an isDate function in jQuery?

It should return true if the input is a date, and false otherwise.

Answer 1

You should use moment.js it's the best lib to handle all kind of dates. Solution to your problem:

var inputVal = '2012-05-25';
moment(inputVal , 'YYYY-MM-DD', true).isValid();
