Prevent bad date causing exception on console.

[mlawlerau]

Using this lib on my svelte 5 app I encountered a problem with this line. Is this ok to contribute?

[mlawlerau]

Im passing/binding a date object ala:

let date = $state(new Date())
...

<form>
<div class="pt-[3px] pl-1">
    <DateInput id="date" bind:value={date} placeholder="" timePrecision={null} format="yyyy-MM-dd"/>
</div>
<input hidden name="date" bind:value={date} />
</form>

Then after my form has succeeded, when the resulting page renders i get:

TypeError: date.getTime is not a function. (In 'date.getTime()', 'date.getTime' is undefined)

Which I can track to that particular line. I see the test for null and undefined above it. But if I add that test for false, then it works.

Any suggestions on how to debug this or fix at my application level so I dont need my submitted change?

Could you create a REPL?

[mlawlerau]

I am using a flowbite-svelte modal and I cant see any REPL examples that show using it. Any ideas?

[probablykasper]

Not sure what you mean? If you create a REPL (https://svelte.dev/playground/hello-world?version=5.2.8) that would help me understand what exactly the issue is and whether this is the proper solution

[mlawlerau]

Yeah, I understand the idea of a REPL to provide a minimal demo of the issue. I tried to do one, but my app uses flowbite-svelte and as soon as I tried to add that import for the Modal component, the REPL got an error. I searched for other REPLs using flowbite-svelte and could not find any. I will try to see if I can make a trivial example that illustrates the issue. I do know that that condition I added to the if test line solves my problem (I have copied the source into my project for the time being, but would prefer to depend on your release, rather than maintaining an internal fork inside my app.).
