How to get date object from moment.js after formatting it

Question

Using typescript, I am formatting my date with moment.js like this.

function getCreatedDate(objContainingDate: any): Date {
    // Following line does not work since it is returning string, 
    // I need formatted date object to return 
    return moment(objContainingDate.createdDate).format("L")
}

The format method returns a string, how to convert it back to date object ?

To retrieve a native Date object from Moment, use .toDate()

You can directly get the Date object from Moment.
