Why is moment.js allowing date with one digit year when using strict parsing?

Question

I am using moment.js to parse a date. http://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/

This is to validate and convert the date to a format required by my database.

Answer 1

This was a known issue for past versions of Moment.js: YYYY-MM-DD with 3 digit year returns true for isValid().

It was fixed in December 2013, and your code works as expected with the most recent version of the library. Version 2.3.1 was released in October 2013 and does not include this fix.
