Mongoose: Cast to date failed for value when updating a document

Question

I use Mongoose in my project and in one of the schemas I use Date field, like this:

reservationDay: {
        type: Date,
        default: Date.now
}
         


        

Answer 1

"20/11/2014 04:11" is an invalid ISODate format. Somewhere you are converting reservationDate into a string of an invalid format. You need to convert it to a valid ISODate format (month before day):

new Date("11/20/2014 04:11") // Thu Nov 20 2014 04:11:00 GMT+0100 (CET)
new Date("2014/11/20 04:11") // Thu Nov 20 2014 04:11:00 GMT+0100 (CET)
new Date("20/11/2014 04:11") // Invalid Date

for easy manipulation of date formats, I'd recommend using moment.js
