This pull request addresses the issue raised in #6202, where the current TypeScript definitions for the
toJSON
method do not accurately reflect the possible return value ofnull
for invalid date instances. As documented, thetoJSON
method returns a string representation of the moment object when valid andnull
when the moment object represents an invalid date. However, the existing TypeScript type definitions only indicate a string return type, leading to potential type mismatches and runtime errors in TypeScript applications.Changes Made
toJSON
method to includenull
as a possible return type. The method now correctly reflects its return type asstring | null
, aligning with the actual behavior of thetoJSON
method.Impact
Testing
toJSON
method. This test ensure that no type errors occur when a moment object is invalid, andtoJSON
returnsnull
.Additional Notes
toJSON
method. No changes were made to the method's implementation.By accurately reflecting the
toJSON
method's behavior in the TypeScript definitions, this pull request aims to improve the development experience for TypeScript users of moment.js, ensuring type safety and consistency with the library's runtime behavior.Resolves #6202.
