"post.date" passed in as current date when its not set / null

[jashsayani]

When I use "page", I do not want to have a date (I only use date for "post"). If I un-set the date (dont have it set in md), its still passed in as current date to my theme.

Expected behavior

post.date is falsey.

Actual behavior

post.date is current date.

How to reproduce?

Use this page (no date set):

---
title: My Page
---
## My title
Hello World

Environment & Settings

Node.js & npm version(node -v && npm -v)

v12.18.3
6.14.6

Hexo and Plugin version(npm ls --depth 0)

Others

I added this to my page in the theme file <h1><%= post.date %></h1> and I see Sat Jan 23 2021 22:24:47 GMT-0800 when no date is set.

This is still an issue.

You can use is_page() helper to determine whether to display the time

I have a working work-around so this issue is not blocking me. But post.date is not behaving as expected so it should be fixed at some point.
