CodeSandbox Case (Bug Reports)
https://codesandbox.io/s/primevue-datatable-filter-date-bug-3u79j

Current behavior

When an invalid date string is inputted to the date filter box, and the filter is applied, an uncaught error is thrown. Sometimes, this error will cause the entire Datatable component to disappear from the page (Note: The Datatable does not disappear in the Code Sandbox, but the error is still thrown. The disappearing table can be observed on the datatable filter showcase page)

Expected behavior

The filter would handle the invalid input gracefully, or throw a more specific error

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

1. Open the filter menu for the date column
2. In the datepicker, enter an invalid date string (such as "asdf")
3. Click "Apply"

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
