I was using helper-date with handlebars but in some scenarios, it is returning Invalid date.

Snippet to reproduce the issue: https://runkit.com/prashantagarwal272/5e7c445b54bf8c001adf1d9f

Hi @prashantagarwal ... the timestamp in your example is passed into date.js before passing to moment. This is to allow patterns like 5 years ago, as shown in the examples in the README.

In your example, if you add datejs=false, then the timestamps are formatted correctly because date.js is not being used:

{{date data.timestamp "D MMM, YYYY, h:mm a" datejs=false}}

I hope this helps. I'm going to close this issue, but let me know if you have the same issue after using datejs=false and I'll reopen it.
