I know this probably looks like a duplicate question but I am unable to change my locale using moment in my React/ES6 setup.
This is what I have been able to gather from the internet but it doesn't work
import moment from 'moment';
import 'moment/min/locales';
moment.locale('en-gb');
moment('31/08/2021').format('YYYY-MM-DD') \\ returns 'Invalid Date'
Where am I going wrong?
This may not be the perfect way to do it but it definitely works.
locale = 'en-GB';
value = '07/06/2021';
moment.locale(locale);
const localeData = moment.localeData();
const format = localeData.longDateFormat('L');
console.log(moment(value, format).format('YYYY-MM-DD')); // '2021-06-07'
It does not look like a moment locale issue. Try specifying the right input format to parse a moment string.

console.log(moment("31/08/2021", "DD/MM/YYYY").format("YYYY-MM-DD"));<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.24.0/moment.min.js"></script>Try this:
moment('31/08/2021', 'DD-MM-YYYY').format('YYYY-MM-DD')
