Check if date is invalid

Need to know if a date is invalid? Here’s how.

is-date-invalid.ts

function isDateInvalid(date: Date): boolean {
  return Number.isNaN(date.valueOf());
}

The new Date() constructor will not throw an error if you pass it a wrong value, checking the value of the returned date object is the only way to know if the date is invalid.

isDateInvalid(new Date()) // false
isDateInvalid(new Date('2023-55-99')) // true
