"2013-02-07" recognition? about chrono

[wanasit]

Hello Xiaoli,

I patched chrono to recognize date with zero-padding (2013-02-07) as you suggested.

I have that IF statement for filtering some non-exsist date such as 2013-02-29.
[ var date = moment( '2013-02-29' , 'YYYY-MM-DD'); ] will return [March 1st] which is not correct answer in my opinion.

Hi berryboy, thanks for your quick fix. One more question, I also found chrono will return 12:00 if not found start/end hour, any reasons here?

As fas as I know, it's not recommend to mark the timestamp at the beginning of the day (midnight - 00:00). There are some case like - Day Time Saving on March 13, 2011 that skipped the time by one hour.

So, I think the safest timestamp to represent 'a day' is the middle of that day (or 12:00)

Yes, I think you are right at that point. However as chrono is a parser, so sometimes I don't know if chrono really extracted "12:00" from a given text or just return it by your above safest logic. Then the chrono may not be good to return "12:00" if the given text doesn't contain any time string, just my two cents.
