Moment returning an invalid date while using Hermes JS Engine

Question

When I was using jsc Engine, everything was working fine but when I shifted from jsc engine to Hermes Engine in my react native app I started getting Invalid date where I was using moment.

CODE:

const defaultDate = moment(currentTimeStamp).format("YYYY/MM/DD"); //till this it works fine
return moment(defaultDate).toDate().getTime(); // throws INVALID DATE

Answer 1

After some R&D, I was able to figure out the issue myself so I thought to share it here.

Solution 1 :

Instead of using format like format("YYYY/MM/DD");. Use it like format("YYYY-MM-DD"); as this is one of the standard format that moment understands.

Solution 2:

If you need that format only(which was my case). You need to tell the moment the format that you are using. Like this:

return moment(defaultDate,"YYYY/MM/DD").toDate().getTime();
