Check if date is a valid one

Question

Following is the scenario:

I have a String date and a date format which is different. Ex.:
date: 2016-10-19
dateFormat: \"DD-MM-YYYY\".

Answer 1

Try this one. It is not nice but it will work as long as the input is constant format from your date picker.

It is badDate coming from your picker in this example

var dateFormat = 'DD-MM-YYYY'
var badDate = "2016-10-19";

var splittedDate = badDate.split('-');

if (splittedDate.length == 3) {
  var d = moment(splittedDate[2]+"-"+splittedDate[1]+"-"+splittedDate[0], dateFormat);
  alert(d.isValid())
} else {
  //incorrectFormat
}
