Tempus Dominus minDate counld not parse

Question

First time using Tempus Dominus Datetimepicker for Bootstrap 4.

In my code I have:

var dateFormat = 'DD-MM-YYYY';
var CurrDate   = '27-06-2018';
var MinDate    = '27-06-1918';
var MaxDate    = '27-06-2018';

I then convert the dates to moment objects:

dateMin = moment(CurrDate, dateFormat);
dateMin = moment(MinDate, dateFormat);
dateMax = moment(MaxDate, dateFormat);

I can see the moment objects in console.log(), dates are correct.

Moment {_isAMomentObject: true, _i: "27-06-2018", _f: "DD-MM-YYYY", _isUTC: false, _pf: {…}, …}
Moment {_isAMomentObject: true, _i: "27-06-1918", _f: "DD-MM-YYYY", _isUTC: false, _pf: {…}, …}
Moment {_isAMomentObject: true, _i: "27-06-2018", _f: "DD-MM-YYYY", _isUTC: false, _pf: {…}, …}

I then initialise the datetimepicker like this:

// Initialize Stand Alone datetimepicker
$('#myDiv').datetimepicker({
    format: dateFormat,
    date: dateCurr,
    minDate: dateMin,
    maxDate: dateMax,
});

But it fails with:

minDate() Could not parse date parameter: NaN

Why is the datepicker not happy with a moment? The instructions here say it should work. Have I missed / messed up something?

Your code seems to be working fine:

$(function() {
  var dateFormat = "DD-MM-YYYY";
  var CurrDate = "27-06-2018";
  var MinDate = "01-06-2018";
  var MaxDate = "27-06-2018";
  
  dateCurr = moment(CurrDate, dateFormat);
  dateMin = moment(MinDate, dateFormat);
  dateMax = moment(MaxDate, dateFormat);
  
  $("#datetimepicker1").datetimepicker({
    format: dateFormat,
    date: dateCurr,
    minDate: dateMin,
    maxDate: dateMax,
  });
});
