How to fix JavaScript’s getDate returns wrong date?
To fix JavaScript’s getDate returns wrong date, we use the Date constructor.
For instance, we write
const parseDate = (input) => {
const [year, month, day] = input.match(/(\d+)/g);
return new Date(year, month - 1, day);
};
to call input.match to get the parts of a date in an array.
Then we call the Date constructor with the year, month and day.
We subtract month by 1 since Date accepts month number from 0 for January to 11 for December.
