Convert postgres timestamp (+ timezone) to Date object [Javascript]

Question

Our postgres database returns a string with a timestamp: '2016-07-24T03:32:45.678Z'

We are trying to use the moment.js library, but it only accepts a Date object.

How can I convert the above timestamp+timezone into a Date object using Javascript?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Answer 1

new Date(dateString.replace(' ', 'T'));

Answer 2

I needed to use moment(some_date).fromNow()

Instead of moment.startOf(some_date).fromNow()
