Angular Invalid Date Error in Internet Explorer

Question

I receive this value (2018-12-19T14:07:03.068+0000) from a service of BE, try to transform in date

new Date('2018-12-19T14:07:03.068+0000')

This works in Chrome, but IE outputs "Invalid Date"

Use a specialized library (like [momentjs](https://momentjs.com)) to handle dates. — Andreas, Dec 19 '18 at 15:57
Try to add date like below will work with IE. var dt=new Date(2018, 12, 19, 14,07, 03); Output: https://i.postimg.cc/YCS6gtFJ/94.png — Deepak-MSFT, Dec 20 '18 at 05:37

Try to use a date with RFC2822 or ISO 8601 format.

this is fine, but I receive this value from a service of BE – Phil Dec 20 '18 at 08:27
You should not rely on RFC2822 as it is not a supported date time format according to the ECMAScript specification. – str Dec 22 '18 at 15:16

It fails because it is not a valid date time string. The best option would be to fix it in the backend. If you can't do that, fix it in the frontend. For example as follows:

var invalidDate = '2018-12-19T14:07:03.068+0000';
var validDate = invalidDate.substring(0, 26) + ':' + invalidDate.substring(26);
console.log(validDate, new Date(validDate));
