String "conversation" date format to date format in JavaScript

Question

I am creating a Speech to Text input engine where user will say input values for html forms. One of the input field is a type="date". Suppose the user says "July 20th 2021", Is it possible to change this date into JavaScript date format? Is there any library that does this kind of conversion?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I would start with the Date.parse() function. If that doesn't work for you then your best bets are likely date-fns or momentJS but if your format isn't one that is immediately parseable with one of the built in functions then you may need to a bit of pre-processing yourself.
