You have to use moment(String, String);
to parse your input. If you don’t want to specify a format (or an array of formats), you can use moment.ISO_8601
. As the docs says:
Moment already supports parsing iso-8601 strings, but this can be specified explicitly in the format/list of formats when constructing a moment
This way you will not have deprecation warning. Here a working example:
var invalid = '2017-03-18 23;00;00';
if (moment(invalid, moment.ISO_8601).isValid()) {
console.log('valid date');
} else {
console.log('invalid date');
}

PS. Anyway, if you have a list of accepted format, I suggest to use moment(String, String[]);
(and strict parsing, if needed).
