how can I remove the time after converting a date to ISO String?
var now = new Date();
console.log( now.toISOString() );
if the output is
2017-10-19T16:00:00.000Z
I just want it to be :
2017-10-19
276
The time "changes" because it is converted to UTC when you calls toISOString. If you want to get ISO date in your timezone, you should take a look in these two questions: How to ISO 8601 format a Date with Timezone Offset in JavaScript? and How to format a JavaScript date
Below is the example of Date toISOString () method. The date.toISOString () method is used to convert the given date object’s contents into a string in ISO format (ISO 8601) i.e, in the form of (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ or ±YYYYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ).The date object is created using date () constructor.
The toISOString() method converts a Date object into a string, using the ISO standard. The standard is called ISO-8601 and the format is: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ
As pointed out by @RobG in the comments section, toISOString should always return the date in UTC ( Z or +00:00 ). The time "changes" because it is converted to UTC when you calls toISOString.
There are actually many ways to do so:
1- Use Moment JS which gives you kind of flexibility in dealing with the issue
2- The simple way to do it in native JS is to use substr() function like that:
var date = new Date();
console.log(date.toISOString().substr(0,10));
The second way would be more effective if all you need is to remove the time part of the string and use the date only.
