# String to date

Convert a string into a date; for example, `18/07/2023` or `July 18, 2023` into a time type. Set the timezone to be used to a custom timezone, local time, or UTC. Optionally, also provide the date format for parsing in [Day.js ↗](https://day.js.org/docs/en/display/format) format. American date format is used by default (`mm/dd/yyyy`). Will return `Invalid timezone or date` for invalid values.
