fecha.parse method is allowing an invalid and a malformed dates about fecha HOT 5 CLOSED

Maybe the strict version could parse the date and format it again and then check if both strings are the same?

Hi @taylorhakes, do you have any comment about this?

Yes, this is the intended behavior. moment.js behaves very similar (without the strict parameter). The library is meant to help with parsing valid date strings. It wasn't meant to parse invalid date strings. I will add something about this in the readme because it's not stated anywhere.

I would not be opposed to adding a strict version of the parser, if it doesn't add much bloat.

This is stale but, thought I'd bump. This lib claims to parse/format dates. Not parse/format NOT dates.

Considering numbers ensuring validity on a date is not a straight forward as one might think. In this case it likely is best left up to user/dev in his/her own lib. Build a helper lib for a timestamp or something and this will become more obvious as to why I say this. Just my .02.

I am going to close this issue. If someone would like to submit a PR to add a strict version (which doesn't add a lot of code), I would be happy to add it
