I want to get formatted date text

Expected behavior

I want to get formatted date text. I do not know the method.

Actual behavior

Steps to reproduce

handleChange(date, e) {
　　●＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝「I want to get formatted date text.」
}

render() {
    return (
<DatePicker
  selected={this.state.startDate}
  onChange={this.handleChange}
  dateFormat="yyyy/MM/dd"
/>
   );
}

You should import “date-fns/format” as it is the library used by the react-datepicker. So first import: import format from "date-fns/format";

then

<DatePicker selected={this.state.startDate} onChange={(date)=>this.handleChange(format(date, "yyyy/MM/dd", { awareOfUnicodeTokens: true }))} dateFormat="yyyy/MM/dd" />

and handleChange(date) {...

@BladeOnardo I get an error: Starting with v2.0.0-beta.1 date-fns doesn’t accept strings as arguments. Please use parseISO to parse strings.

When using parseISO on the date, I get:

TypeError: Object(…) is not a function

This library comes with a dependency on date-fns, and as @Himakuma pointed out, makes no sense if we can’t use the functions (and documentation that shows how to use it) when it simple doesn’t work.
