You can also look to date-fns. It has good tree shaking support.

+1 for date-fns. As well, the moment folks also create a more lighter weight, tree shakeable version called luxon.

new Date(dateString) does do a pretty good job at parsing on most browsers, but will favor the system locale when MM/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy is indeterminate.
