Passionate about solving problems since 2012! I'm a full stack web developer with experience in AWS, TypeScript and React. Looking for new opportunities!
I was using one of MaterializeCSS's date pickers. This one has a prop called minDate which allows you to set what's the minimal date for this selection. This worked wonderfully.
I was passing the variable to Materialize's date picker, which was a date object. This date object had the date and time selected by the user, so Materialize was working properly.
The problem was sending the data to the server. The date variable was somehow changing. It was losing the time. Time was 00:00:00.
I checked my code, from the very beginning, down to my Redux store. Everywhere. My date variable was OK and it HAD the proper time.
I spent hours checking why it was changing. Is Javascript suddenly crazy? Why is this happening to me? Could it be a bug IN javascript?
Turns out Materialize was mutating the date object. The solution was just cloning it minDate = new Date(selectedDate)
That fixed the issue. Lesson learned: be careful with mutation.
