cast string to date

[happysalada]

I've got a form that is updated dynamically, and when the value is populated from the database it is a string.
My efforts at casting it from outside are fruitless at the moment.
I was wondering if you would be open to casting strings passed to the component as dates.
This would make things simpler on my side.
let me know if anything of course, I'm open.

I won't merge this, sorry. I think it can make issues harder to debug if an unexpected string value is converted implicitly

no worries, thanks for having taken a look!
