I need to work a date object thru a specific set of circumstances.
toISOString() because that's how it is in the DB.So when the user chooses from/to dates, the app is makes their chosen dates in US Pacific timezone, and then searches the db using ISO formatted dates.
I have this SE Post which gets me the timezone conversion, but in a non-iso format. Any attempts at deriving toISOString() molests the object right back to the device timezone.
I'm trying dayjs(), but it winds up being a bunch of extra steps, only to have the end result be molested to the device timezone.
How can I get the above series of events to unfold in the necessary order?
Here is how you do it with dayjs
const dayjs = require("dayjs");
const utc = require("dayjs/plugin/utc");
const timezone = require("dayjs/plugin/timezone");
dayjs.extend(utc);
dayjs.extend(timezone);
let t = dayjs()
.tz("America/Los_Angeles")
.utc(true)
.toISOString();
console.log(t);
Here is a list of all timezones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
I personally live in europe, but when i execute this script it shows me the time in los angeles in ISO format
