Using Luxon JS, I've been trying to format datetime to output in a certain format, using the native toISO function:
This is what I get:
"2018-08-25T09:00:40.000-04:00"
And this is what I want:
"2018-08-25T13:00:40.000Z"
I know that they are both equivalent in terms of unix time and mean the same thing except in a different format, I just want to be able to out the second string rather than the first. I looked through the Luxon docs but was unable to find any arguments/options that would give me what I need.
As other already stated in the comments, you can use 2 approaches:
Convert Luxon DateTime to UTC using toUTC:
"Set" the DateTime's zone to UTC. Returns a newly-constructed DateTime.
Use toISOString() method of JS Date.
You can use toJSDate() to get the Date object from a luxon DateTime:
Returns a JavaScript Date equivalent to this DateTime.
Examples:
const DateTime = luxon.DateTime;
const dt = DateTime.now();
console.log(dt.toISO())
console.log(dt.toUTC().toISO())
console.log(dt.toJSDate().toISOString())
console.log(new Date().toISOString())<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/luxon@1.26.0/build/global/luxon.js"></script>
