moment.js isValid function not working properly


In your question you write that moment('03:55jojojo', 'HH:mm',true).isValid(); returns true. This is incorrect. Please check your jsfiddle again.

From http://momentjs.com/docs/

Moment's parser is very forgiving, and this can lead to undesired behavior. As of version 2.3.0, you may specify a boolean for the last argument to make Moment use strict parsing. Strict parsing requires that the format and input match exactly.

moment('It is 2012-05-25', 'YYYY-MM-DD').isValid();        // truemoment('It is 2012-05-25', 'YYYY-MM-DD', true).isValid();  // falsemoment('2012-05-25', 'YYYY-MM-DD', true).isValid();        // true

You can use both language and strictness.

moment('2012-10-14', 'YYYY-MM-DD', 'fr', true);


Sorry to necro this 5 year old question, but I indeed stumbled upon a case where monent is not working properly towards the documentation, using version 2.24.0.

Formats

In the picture we can see that for example H should only evaluate to 0 - 23, but if I use moment('01', 'H', true).isValid() I still get true.
