var (
	// Date_dashed_yyyymmdd is the date format for "YYYY-MM-DD"
	Date_dashed_yyyymmdd = &DateFormat{"YYYY-MM-DD", "2006-01-02"}
)

var ErrInvalidDate = errors.New("invalid date")

ErrInvalidDate is returned when trying to validate and/or parse a date string, there was no success.

This might happen because of two reasons: 1. Date string is actually invalid 2. Format of the date string is not supported
