Converting to same date format using format of Moment JS gives invalid date

I have a react application where at one place we are converting date using moment like this

moment("08/19/1994", 'DD/MM/YYYY', true).isValid()

this returns the date as "19/08/1994 and this value is stored in redux store.

When the component is again refreshed, this conversion happens again and this time it works like this

moment("19/08/1994", 'DD/MM/YYYY', true).isValid() //invalid date.

So if we are converting same date format it is giving the error So is there a way we can check the format or git rid of this invalid date using any other method.

You should convert the date only the first time you store it in redux, not in the react component.

isValid() returns boolean based on the date validity

Use format() to convert date to 'DD/MM/YYYY'

console.log(moment("08/19/1994", 'MM/DD/YYYY').format('DD/MM/YYYY'))
