PHP | checkdate() Function The checkdate() function is a built-in function in PHP which checks the validity of the date passed in the arguments. It accepts the date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. The function returns a boolean value. It returns true if the date is a valid one, else it returns false.


Was able to find the solution. Since the date I am getting is in ISO format, only providing date to moment will validate it, no need to pass the dateFormat.

var date = moment("2016-10-19");

And then date.isValid() gives desired result.


var date = moment('2016-10-19', 'DD-MM-YYYY', true);

You should add a third argument when invoking moment that enforces strict parsing. Here is the relevant portion of the moment documentation http://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/ It is near the end of the section.


I just found a really messed up case.

moment('Decimal128', 'YYYY-MM-DD').isValid() // true

Here you go: Working Fidddle

$(function(){
  var dateFormat = 'DD-MM-YYYY';
  alert(moment(moment("2012-10-19").format(dateFormat),dateFormat,true).isValid());
});
