Javascript how to validate dates in format MM-DD-YYYY

Question

I saw a potential answer here but that was for YYYY-MM-DD  JavaScript date validation  I modified the code code above for MM-DD-YYYY like so but I still can t get it to work   String prototype isValidDate   function           var IsoDateRe   new RegExp     0-9  2  -  0-9  2  -  0-9  4            var matches   IsoDateRe exec this        if   matches  return false       var composedDate   new Date matches 3    matches 1  - 1   matches 2         return   composedDate getMonth       matches 1  - 1    amp  amp         composedDate getDate      matches 2    amp  amp         composedDate getFullYear      matches 3         How can I get the above code to work for MM-DD-YYYY and better yet MM DD YYYY   Thanks

I would use Moment js for this task  It makes it very easy to parse dates and it also provides support to detect a an invalid date1 in the correct format  For instance  consider this example   var formats     MM-DD-YYYY    MM DD YYYY    moment  11 28 1981   formats  isValid       true moment  2-29-2003   formats  isValid        false  not leap year  moment  2-29-2004   formats  isValid        true   leap year    First moment     formats  is used to parse the input according to the localized format supplied  Then the isValid function is called on the resulting moment object so that we can actually tell if it is a valid date   This can be used to trivially derive the isValidDate method   String prototype isValidDate   function         var formats     MM-DD-YYYY    MM DD YYYY        return moment      this  formats  isValid          1 As I can find scarce little commentary on the matter  I would only use moment js for dates covered by the Gregorian calendar  There may be plugins for other  including historical or scientific  calendars

If your date needs to match DD MM YYYY and use AngularJS  use the following code    scope validDate   function value               var matches       d 1 2       d 1 2       d 4     exec value               if  matches    null  return false              var d   matches 1               var m   matches 2  - 1              var y   matches 3               var composedDate   new Date y  m  d               return composedDate getDate      d  amp  amp                  composedDate getMonth      m  amp  amp                  composedDate getFullYear      y                         console log  scope validDate  22 04 2001                 console log  scope validDate  03 10 2001                 console log  scope validDate  30 02 2001                 console log  scope validDate  23 09 2016                 console log  scope validDate  29 02 2016                 console log  scope validDate  31 02 2016       More about the scope object can be found here  Without AngularJS  simply change the first line to   ValidDate   new function value      And call it using   var MyDate  ValidDate  29 09 2016

You can simplify it somewhat by changing the first two lines of the function to this   var matches   this match     0-9  2      0-9  2      0-9  4         Or  just change the parameter to the RegExp constructor to be      0-9  2      0-9  2      0-9  4

You can simplify it somewhat by changing the first two lines of the function to this   var matches   this match     0-9  2      0-9  2      0-9  4         Or  just change the parameter to the RegExp constructor to be      0-9  2      0-9  2      0-9  4

Please find in the below code which enables to perform the date validation for any of the supplied format or based on user locale to validate start from and end to dates  There could be some better approaches but have come up with this  Have tested it for the formats like  MM dd yyyy  dd MM yyyy  yyyy-MM-dd  yyyy MM dd  yyyy MM dd and dd-MM-yyyy    Note supplied date format and date string go hand in hand    lt script type  text javascript  gt  function validate format         if isAfterCurrentDate document getElementById  start   value  format             alert  Date is after the current date           else           alert  Date is not after the current date               if isBeforeCurrentDate document getElementById  start   value  format             alert  Date is before current date           else           alert  Date is not before current date               if isCurrentDate document getElementById  start   value  format             alert  Date is current date           else           alert  Date is not a current date               if  isBefore document getElementById  start   value  document getElementById  end   value  format             alert  Start Effective Date cannot be greater than End Expiration Date          else           alert  Valid dates                 if  isAfter document getElementById  start   value  document getElementById  end   value  format             alert  End Expiration Date cannot be less than Start Effective Date          else           alert  Valid dates                 if  isEquals document getElementById  start   value  document getElementById  end   value  format             alert  Dates are equals             else           alert  Dates are not equals                 if  isDate document getElementById  start   value  format             alert  Is valid date             else           alert  Is invalid date                       This method gets the year index from the supplied format     function getYearIndex format         var tokens   splitDateFormat format        if  tokens 0       YYYY                 tokens 0       yyyy             return 0        else if  tokens 1      YYYY                 tokens 1       yyyy             return 1        else if  tokens 2       YYYY                 tokens 2       yyyy             return 2               Returning the default value as -1     return -1            This method returns the year string located at the supplied index     function getYear date  index         var tokens   splitDateFormat date       return tokens index             This method gets the month index from the supplied format     function getMonthIndex format         var tokens   splitDateFormat format        if  tokens 0       MM                 tokens 0       mm             return 0        else if  tokens 1       MM                 tokens 1       mm             return 1        else if  tokens 2       MM                 tokens 2       mm             return 2               Returning the default value as -1     return -1            This method returns the month string located at the supplied index     function getMonth date  index         var tokens   splitDateFormat date       return tokens index             This method gets the date index from the supplied format     function getDateIndex format         var tokens   splitDateFormat format        if  tokens 0       DD                 tokens 0       dd             return 0        else if  tokens 1       DD                 tokens 1       dd             return 1        else if  tokens 2       DD                 tokens 2       dd             return 2               Returning the default value as -1     return -1            This method returns the date string located at the supplied index     function getDate date  index         var tokens   splitDateFormat date       return tokens index             This method returns true if date1 is before date2 else return false     function isBefore date1  date2  format           Validating if date1 date is greater than the date2 date     if  new Date getYear date1  getYearIndex format                 getMonth date1  getMonthIndex format   -

How about validating dates in  ANY  date format   I ve been using the DateJS library and adding it to existing forms to ensure that I get valid dates  amp  times formatted the way that I want   The user can even enter things like  now  and  tomorrow  and it will be converted into a valid date   Here s the dateJS library  http   www datejs com   and here s a jQuery tip that I wrote  http   www ssmedia com utilities jquery index cfm datejs htm
