How to validate date using DatePipe in Angular 5 app?

Question

I have bsDatepicker with bsConfig and I'm trying to validate it, to make sure it is with the right format. The problem is that bsDatepicker create a date in a different format so I can't validate it.

The date string is:

Mon Apr 01 2019 19:05:36 GMT+1100 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time)

I'm trying to transform it using DatePipe like:

dateStr = this.datepipe.transform(date.toDateString(), 'MM/dd/yyyy');

What I'm getting is null. The expected result will be 04/01/2019. Any idea why the datepipe failed to transform? Thanks.
