Parsing month/day/year date format in D3

I am trying to parse the following date format in D3 for line chart visual:

10/29/2015

I have tried:

var formatDate = d3.time.format("%M-%d-%Y");

but it isn't working. Is it possible to parse this format in D3?

Your date uses slashes whereas the specifier of your time format has hyphens in it. Defining it as 

var formatDate = d3.time.format("%M/%d/%Y");

should do the trick.

console.log(d3.time.format("%M-%d-%Y").parse("10/29/2015"));  // doesn't work
console.log(d3.time.format("%M/%d/%Y").parse("10/29/2015"));  // works
