## Parsing dates

Material-UI pickers relies on the date management library when the date should be parsed. Any other prop-types that accepts dates (e.g. `minDate`, `maxDate`) it can take string, number, Date object and so on.

Find more information about parsing dates in the documentation for your library:

- [date-fns](https://date-fns.org/v2.19.0/docs/parse)
- [dayjs](https://day.js.org/docs/en/parse/parse)
- [luxon](https://moment.github.io/luxon/docs/manual/parsing.html)
- [moment](https://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/)

P.S.: Pass any value to the picker, and if it won't be parsed as expected feel free to open an issue
