Date Issue in Kendo UI when Filter Grid

Question

When we filter Kendo datagrid, use different types of operator like eq, and, or, gt, lt etc. that's work well in string and number. When we use date to match another date using eq operator does not work but gt,lt works.

This is my source code

dataSource: {
                       data: data,

                       schema: {
                           model: {
                               fields: {
                                   date: { type: "date"},
                                   id: { type: "string" },
                                   name: { type: "number" },
                                   account: { type: "number" }

                               }
                           }

                       },
                       sort: [ { field: "date", dir: "desc" }],

                       filter : [{
                                field: "date", operator: "eq", value: dateString

                                }],

                       pageSize: 30,
        }

probably your datestring is not being read has a date, so when it goes filter it throws a error.

Try to or use the format propertie in the grid

 columns   : [
    {
        field       : "Date",
        title       : "Date",
        format      : "{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}",
        filterable: {
            ui: "datepicker"
        }
    }
]
