Convert datepicker date to ISO format with moment.js

Question

My task is to use a datepicker to pick a date in the prescribed format, eg(MM-DD-YYYY) and pass it to the server as ISO formatted.

While it test the output the ISO formatted date is one day behind.

For example

If i select

07-13-2015

My Output ISO format is

ISO format is :2015-07-12T18:30:00.000Z

Here you can see date is 13 but the output date is 12

I am from India. I tried with zone and utcOffset, ended up with no results. How do i set it right

Here is the JSFIDDLE

js code

$('#datetimepicker1').on("dp.change",function(e){
        var selectedDate = $('#datetimepicker1').find("input").val();
        selectedDate = moment(selectedDate,"MM-DD-YYYY");
        $(".temp").text(moment(selectedDate).toISOString());
    });

I do have a hidden field which value will be updated on change and that will be processed in the server. No issues on that.

Answer 1

$('#datetimepicker1').on("dp.change",function(e){
        var selectedDate = $('#datetimepicker1').find("input").val();
        selectedDate = moment(selectedDate,"MM-DD-YYYY");
        $(".temp").text(selectedDate.toISOString());
    });

Your selectedDate is already a moment object so you do not need to feed it back into another moment.

Example:

var test = '07-13-2015'
var mtest = moment(test,"MM-DD-YYYY")
mtest.toISOString()
"2015-07-13T06:00:00.000Z"
