Datatable editor node.js - .dateFormat() error: key.toLowerCase is not a function

Datatable editor node.js - .dateFormat() error: key.toLowerCase is not a function

I'm using datatable editor with node.js. When trying to validate serverside a date with the internal .dateFormat() function like this:

const moment = require('moment');

...

new Field( 'messages_access.valid_until' )
    .validator( Validate.dateFormat(
        "YYYY-MM-DD",
        new Validate.Options({
            message: "Please provide a valid date: YYYY-MM-DD"
        })
    ))

I get this error message:

How to solve this?

    Could you use:

    new Field( 'messages_access.valid_until' )
        .validator( Validate.dateFormat(
            "YYYY-MM-DD",
            null,
            new Validate.Options({
                message: "Please provide a valid date: YYYY-MM-DD"
            })
        ))
    

    please? The second parameter of the dateFormat function is the locale to give to MomentJS. We can pass null to have it use its default.
