#### __date__

__date__: __Object__

The Date to be returned when no parameters are passed to new Date(). Supports any object that has a .valueOf method that returns a value that can be passed to new Date().

__date__: __String__

The string representation of the date which is passed to the new Date() constructor. This creates the Date to be returned when no parameters are passed to new Date().

__date__: __Number__

The millisecond representation of the Date to be returned when no parameters are passed to new Date().

`javascript
MockDate.reset();
`

Will restore the original Date object back to the native implementation.

Example ##


`javascript
MockDate.set('2000-11-22');

new Date().toString() // "Tue Nov 21 2000 18:00:00 GMT-0600 (CST)"

MockDate.set('1/30/2000');

new Date().toString() // "Sun Jan 30 2000 00:00:00 GMT-0600 (CST)"

MockDate.set(new Date('2/20/2000'));

new Date().toString() // "Sun Feb 20 2000 00:00:00 GMT-0600 (CST)"

MockDate.set(moment('3/30/2000').toDate()); // using momentjs

new Date().toString() // "Thu Mar 30 2000 00:00:00 GMT-0600 (CST)"
