Description

In the getting started guide with Next.js, I discovered this error under the query and list posts section and fixed it with a function as shown below. It was possible as I passed the data in the function.

function getCurrentDate(date) {
    return new Date(date)
  }

JSX

<p className="text-xs mb-2 text-purple-950 dark:text-purple-200">{getCurrentDate(post.pubDate)?.toDateString()}</p>

Compare the published example with the error and reported date conversion, then update the guide so the example handles post.pubDate correctly and verify the shown snippet no longer produces the reported error.
