Can anyone help me with the date.parse method, it is giving a wrong output in this condition:

new Date(Date.parse("2005-07-08"));

Output:

Thu Jul 07 2005 17:00:00 GMT-0700 (PST)

Any help would be appreciated.

You can use the below format to get the right result:

// parse a date in yyyy-mm-dd format

function parseDate(input) {

  let parts = input.split('-');

  // new Date(year, month [, day [, hours[, minutes[, seconds[, ms]]]]])

  return new Date(parts[0], parts[1]-1, parts[2]); // Note: months are 0-based

}

Basically, with the newer edition, this date.parse returns as a number rather than as a date.

I hope this will help.
