I am getting this error:

Error: Error serializing `.post.frontMatter.lastUpdated` returned from `getStaticProps` in "/posts/[...slug]".
Reason: `object` ("[object Date]") cannot be serialized as JSON. Please only return JSON serializable data types.

With this post:

---
name: Post
lastUpdated: 2021-02-13
---

Use a string:

---
name: Post
lastUpdated: "2021-02-13"
---

Then you can format it on render:

export function formatDate(input: string): string {
  const date = new Date(input)
  return date.toLocaleDateString("en-US", {
    month: "long",
    day: "numeric",
    year: "numeric",
  })
}
