Converting new Date() to UTC format in typescript, angular

Question

I have a request from angular, which sends date to server.

const activationDate = new Date();

I need to convert this to UTC date format before sending the request

In my model, I have a Date variable to pass the date to server

export class PersonDetails {
  id: string;
  activationDate?: Date;
}

Answer 1

personModel: PersonDetail;    

const activationDate = new Date();

this.personModel.activationDate = new Date(activationDate.getUTCFullYear(),
                                            activationDate.getUTCMonth(),
                                            activationDate.getUTCDate(),
                                            activationDate.getUTCHours(),
                                            activationDate.getUTCMinutes(),
                                            activationDate.getUTCSeconds()
                                            );

OR Can use a separate method to get UTCDate

const activationDate = this.getNowUTC();    

private getNowUTC() {
  const now = new Date();
  return new Date(now.getTime() + (now.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000));
}
