Reading JavaScript date values from SharePoint date fields regardless of locale (culture)

Using standard JavaScript Date.parse() method with JavaScript does not really work with SharePoint fields, since it does not take in account the locales of the SharePoint site. 

In order to do that properly from skybow Solution Studio (regardless of Modern Forms, List Actions or Automation Actions), the easiest is to use moment.js JS library.

/// <reference path="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.js" />

//parse date by moment.js and get an integer representation 
var dateInt = Date.parse(moment([[datefield]]));

//create a date object out of it
var dateObject = new Date(dateInt);

Note 1: If you are using external URL (For example: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.js) you need to add this URL into Trusted Script Sources in SharePoint admin center by this URL: https://yourtenant-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/AdminHome.aspx#/contentSecurityPolicy
