moment.js second argument not working

Not sure why the following is returning false. The format specified in the second argument is exactly what I've specified while initializing a Bootstrap Datetimepicker.

moment('Fri 5 Jan, 2018 - 05:00 PM', 'ddd d MMM, YYYY - hh:mm A').isValid()

I am trying to convert datetime in the first argument to YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm format, but moment keeps returning an Invalid Date error.

You need to use timezone. Without time zone you might get wrong result.

var dateFormat = 'ddd D MMM, YYYY - hh:mm A';

moment(moment("Fri 5 Jan, 2018 - 05:00 PM",'Asia/kolkata').format(dateFormat),dateFormat).isValid();

According to the documentation you should use a capital D for the day digit (5 Jan), whereas you now have a lowercase d.

moment('Fri 5 Jan, 2018 - 05:00 PM', 'ddd D MMM, YYYY - hh:mm A').isValid();
