Answer 1

According to MDN

String value representing a date. The string should be in a format recognized by the Date.parse() method

Solution: You can simply remove @ from the stirng. using replace method or any other way.

Ex:

var d = "September 30, 2017 @ 11:23 am"
var end = new Date(d.replace("@",""));

console.log(end)
