How to convert a date string to a JavaScript Date object?

To convert a date string to a JavaScript Date object, you can use the Date() constructor. Here's how you can do it:

// Create a date string
var dateString = "2021-01-31"; // yyyy-mm-dd format

// Convert the date string to a Date object
var dateObject = new Date(dateString);

console.log(dateObject);

This will output the Date object representing the provided date string.

Note that the date string should be in a valid format recognized by the JavaScript Date.parse() method, such as "yyyy-mm-dd" or "mm-dd-yyyy".
